My aim in helping the patient was not to cause death. My aim was to end suffering. It's got to be decriminalized.

None of them want to delay. Understand that. None of them.

Despite the solace of hypocritical religiosity and its seductive promise of an after-life of heavenly bliss, most of us will do anything to thwart the inevitable victory of biological death.

I've seen schizophrenics who are so hopeless, you couldn't cheer them, and their lives are miserable and they end up as suicides. That's not right.
