Last week’s arrest of four FEN members in a federal sting in Georgia has cranked up the pro-death extremists’ propaganda machine. They’re in full spin mode.
You know there’s something going on when Dr. Death Jack Kevorkian is bleating about FEN being a bunch of whackos whose methods he doesn’t agree with.
From the story:
A lawyer for retired pathologist Jack Kevorkian, who participated in dozens of assisted suicides, said his client does not condone the methods of a national assisted-suicide ring with Michigan ties at the center of a multistate investigation.
Rich.
Don’t miss the spin: It’s only that he doesn’t condone THE METHOD. He’d much prefer, I think, that FEN use the methods he did, especially in his televised killing of Thomas Youk in 1998.
So, an ersatz distancing, if you will.
Then there’s the ubiquitous Derek Humphry.
He of the Hemlock Society (now spun as “Compassion & Choices”).
He of the book “Final Exit.” (Gee, you’d think the Finale Exit Network could have been a bit more creative here).
He of deserting his second wife when she turned out to have terminal cancer.
ANWAY, Humphry went into full spin mode:
“We shall keep going — we will fight this case,” said Derek Humphry . . .This [Georgia] is a test case. We didn’t look for this. They handed us a case. The public is enormously interested.”
Don’t miss the spin: There we were, going about our kind business, and we have been unfairly targeted. We shall fight! We will not be silenced! You mess with us, we’ll take our case to the masses!!!
Ho-hum.
Except that good citizens reading these quotes less than carefully are likely to mistake killers for caregivers
Which is exactly what they want.

These guys needs to be stopped!! This is horrible!
Some people want to eke out every second of life - no matter how grim - and that is their right. But others do not. And that should be their right.
Lovely blog thanks for taking the time to share this.
