Dr. Jack Kevorkian has passed away at the age of 83

Dr. Kevorkian was best know for his work in physician assisted suicide. He sparked sparked the debate over assisted suicide and raised issue about how people should be allowed to die. The Catholic church, and several pro-life groups vilified him and said that he left behind a legacy of death. While many family members of the people he assisted in ending their lives remain grateful.
Physician assisted suicide opens up an uncomfortable debate for many people, but it is a debate worth having. Do the terminally ill have the right to die to end their suffering? Can they get help from others to do so?
