Answers:

Veronica, I try to evaluate who I am speaking to by looking at their avatar, checking their grammar and spelling, and judging the magnitude of their question. I am going to give you a grown-up answer. It is wrong to take a life--even your own. Sounds simple, doesn't it? But it is not so simple as that. Some people yearn for death because they are in great pain, and have been for a long time, and know that it will never stop until they die, and that may be an even longer time. Naturally, they are bound to think, "What is the use of my staying alive?"
Notice I said "naturally." That is our human nature. More often than not, that point of view rules our lives. So we seek some method of handling whatever problems we face. For some it is an unendurable situation, one which they cannot control, but desparately wish to escape.
Dr. K. has demonstrated that he does not want to be an indiscriminate murderer. He has undertaken to help some who wish to escape mortality for reasons like that described above. Though I know that his actions are against God's will, I feel that if I were in the place of Dr. K., or of any of the people he has helped, my human nature would prevail. I would want to die, I would want to help someone to die, if I knew that there was no other way to achieve freedom from pain.
It is not our place to judge whether someone is wrong to have broken God's law--who of us has not? So I say...
Dr. K. has faced a difficult situation and taken a very bold action to try to rectify it. I admire his courage, even though I know that his assisting people to commit suicide is morally wrong.
I honestly believe that many people would agree with me, but most would never admit it.
