Kevorkian and Eugenics?

Besides Medical Apartheid having a biased ring to it, I appreciate the information. But when Washington equated Dr. Kevrorkian with Eugenics, I was shocked. Washington states that along with Harry Haiselden, Dr Kevorkian, “Hastened the death of those they perceived as ‘unfit for life,’ and both chose their victim from the poles of life.” The only difference Washington suggests is that Kevorkian preyed upon the, “old or ill” (192). So according to Washington, euthanasia or assisted suicide is the same as or would fall under eugenics? Huh! First off, Kevorkians' patients were all older, terminally ill and consented to “treatment”. Those who succumbed to the evils of true eugenics through sterilization were forced, tricked, or consented against their own volition. Euthanasia is known as “mercy killing.” If everyone has the right to live, then everyone should also have the right to die. I think Washington needs to eliminate such biased opinions in her work, and especially understand that when discussing eugenics there is no correlation with Dr. Kevorkian and euthanasia, for they are completely different subjects.
