Look at the forces against me. They don't want me out. They're afraid I'll cause trouble if I get out.

Not one has shown an iota of fear of death. They want to end this agony.

If a man is terrified, it's up to me to dispel that terror.

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

I have a natural right to do whatever I want with my body... as long as it doesn't affect anybody else or any other property.

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.
