Why is he a monster?????

he was accused -- and then convicted -- of murder after injecting lethal drugs into Thomas Youk, 52, an Oakland County man suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease.


He helped people kill themselves with a mixture of drugs instead of the person resorting to hanging, shooting, jumping or downing themselves.

People came to him to help them die in a dignified way.

suicide is dignified? since when?

Believe it or not sometimes people with a debilitating disease or accident just can't handle what life has given them. They want to die in a way that allows their family to say goodbye.

He gave the families that option, a painless way to end their life.

I don't see the man as a monster.

I don't see him as a monster either. I didn't see anything wrong with what he did or how he did it.
