The American Medical Association says the humane way is to let people starve and thirst to death. If you did that to an animal, you'd be put in jail immediately ... In the face of such insanity masquerading as authority, who wouldn't be strident?

As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.

My intent was to carry out my duty as a doctor, to end their suffering. Unfortunately, that entailed, in their cases, ending of the life.

When you say a person should be allowed to die, inject them quickly and painlessly, not let them wither away and starve to death. That is inconceivable. It's unspeakable.

Just like everything else, you let any doctor do it, and some are going to abuse, because you've got crooked-some crooked doctors out there.

She made the decision that her existence had lost its meaning. And you cannot judge that.

[The prosecutor] calls it a crime, a murder, a killing, ... I call it a medical service. Youk came to me and said, 'Please help me.' The aim was a final solution to incurable agony.

You can cite me for contempt, Your Honor. I don't care.

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 did, ... But it could be manslaughter, not murder. It's not necessarily murder. But it doesn't bother me what you call it. I know what it is. This could never be a crime in any society which deems itself enlightened.

They've inhibited-taken my license away. They suspended it, made it tough for me to get any drugs. And-and then, when I use gas, they scorn it. Oh, come on.

During the break, look up your case during the break. Look up your case. Prove it to me, then I'll apologize. You ain't got a case. And no law.

He (Youk) didn't want to die,

We're... letting them starve and thirst to death in-in hospitals. The Germans did that in the concentration camps.

I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.

This is not a trial. This is a lynching. There is no law.

Maybe I won't stay out of prison. Who knows?
