An excellent example of how a lack of regulation leads to abuse. If Ruth
Klooster had been attempting this under the NT law, she would not have
succeeded. By opposing these laws, you're promoting exactly this kind
of abuse.

But it's also worth noting that the article has no evidence that
Kevorkian would have cooperated with Ruth Klooster - and that seems to
make this article rather a slur on Kevorkian. Does anyone know what
criteria Kevorkian uses to determine which patients he will accept?
