First of all, do any of you here think it's a crime to help a suffering human end his agony? Any of you think it is? Say so right now. Well, then, what are we doing here?

I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.

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

The patient decides when it's best to go.

Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.
