                             The Government Enjoys Killing lethally Sick Patients and Sends an
                                         Amazing Doctor to Jail for Trying to Save Them


Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a very extraordinary man. This man is overwhelmingly amazing whether anyone agrees with his views or not. It makes perfect sense for someone who wants to die, to be able to choose to when they are so miserable and sick that they cannot even live anymore. It is greatly absurd and inhuman to allow them to suffer from their sickness with no future ahead of them. They lie in bed and await death for the rest of their lives, a very sick and twisted way of torturing a human being. As each day passes, they would wonder if they would die in their sleep that night or die the day after. They even welcome and long for their ending and have given up on living. How could anyone hold on with even an ounce of determination for living if there is such immense physical and mental pain? How can we even call ourselves humans if we grant each other pain far worse than death?
 Apparently, letting a patient die by cutting off their life support and allowing them to starve to death is legal. What makes even less sense is that this method of allowing the sick patients to die is legal, while the other painless and quick method of death is illegal. This is absolute blasphemy. What kind of sick world has this one become. This method is not for peace but suffering. How this method is approved and legal is beyond a mystery and comprehension. To put it simply, it just makes absolutely no sense. I suppose in other words the government wants their sick patients to die in long and painful deaths. 
It is simply more logical and human to allow these patients to die painlessly. Dr. Jack Kevorkian has only been trying to help his patients and simply has been following in his beliefs. He is so determined and strong in fighting for what he believes in that he risks his freedom to fight for it. Dr. Jack Kevorkian has done nothing wrong. That is why it is extremely erroneous and immoral that he was sent to jail for eight years.  This action of the government makes me further question its system and morality.  They sent an innocent man to jail and stole eight years of his life, but Dr. Jack Kevorkian did not give up. Even after spending his time in prison he still had the same beliefs and determination. He is truly a remarkable man in more ways than one. He cares for his beliefs and his patients; money is not so much as an issue to him.
Dr. Jack Kevorkian even lives simplistically and humbly for a doctor. He does not get paid for helping his patients to pass on. That said, he does not have much money and therefore cannot afford to have fine materialistic items. There is no such thing as a limit of passion and determination for this man. He deserves so much better while other doctors and people degrade him and think that he is crazy. These ridicules are considered petty and insignificant to the doctor and do not at all hinder him from pursuing his beliefs. These are just extra proof of his powerful resolution. It is a great shame that the rest of the world is unable to understand his views, and it is also upsetting that they cannot comprehend the simple logic to the injection method. It is fine for people to not agree with his beliefs, but they should understand just how amazing of a person Dr. Jack Kevorkian really is.
