My only point is that although there are similarities in the cases of Kevorkian and Husel, there are significant differences.I see, but I’m confused as to your point. He was acquitted of all the others and vowed to continue committing euthanasia aka mercy killings unless he was arrested.
Random anecdote: One day in the '90s, I was walking into a post office to mail something. A short, thin, elderly man with pants too short for his legs, was standing out side the front door. He made eye contact with me, smiled and said, "Hello. He outstretched his hand to shake mine. I shook his hand as he asked if I would sign his petition to get the issue of physician assisted suicide on the ballot, so it could be voted on. Thinking the voters had a right to decide the issue, one way or the other, I signed the petition. The man was Jack Kevorkian.
His ballot drive was successful in getting the vote on the ballot. The vote was not. Physician assisted suicide was voted down, by a large margin.
