So basically jack here helped ill people, that were dying very slowly and painfully, kill themselves. Do you think this is right? Is he considered good, or evil in your eyes?

Jack Kevorkian was an American pathologist, assisted suicide activist, painter, composer and instrumentalist. He is best known for publicly championing a terminal patient's right to die via physician-assisted suicide; he said he assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He famously said "dying is not a crime".

Putting someone out of their misery seems to make sense to me.
1) You're ending unnecessary suffering.
2) You're saving money that you would have spent keeping them alive.
3) You may be causing initial harm to the family by taking away a loved one, but you give them more time to be happy in the long run after they've moved on.
So yes, I suppose I do think it was "right", at least by those standards.

He kinda outlined the circumstances, bru.

Anyway, yeah, Dr. Death seems like a nice guy. People should be free to do what they wanna do with their own bodies.
