Good article, I agree with you that a person has a right to end his life and thereby has the right to obtain assistance of others. However, as to Kevorkian, there may be some question as to whether he acted appropriately. For example, this article suggests it's unclear whether Kevorkian checked well enough that Youk really wanted to die, or might have changed his mind, before he gave the lethal injection. And Thomas Szasz also has some interesting critique of Kevorkian.
