Endorsing abortion and suicide are two completely different issues as in both cases the person (or fetus) has the potential for a healthy and relatively pain free life. This is not the case with the terminally ill patients in question. Standing idly while a person suffers is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath, and I don't see why the legal system has any right to stand in the way of benevolence. “The creator” has just as much place in this argument as the church has in legislation.

No one has a "right" to end a life; their own or anyone else's. Only the creator has the right to take away what was given all of us. Where would this end? What if someone cannot not speak or clearly communicate? Would someone then have the right to make that decision (to end their life) because they "know" them well? If someone is so intent on dying, don't be the coward and ask someone else to do it for you. The only people that would endorse a Kevorkian are those who would also endorse abortion and suicide.
