re Kavorkian liked to see people dead

So what?

When Alan Turing was convicted of homosexuality, he worried that people would use the syllogism:

Turing thinks that machines can think.
Turing sleeps with men.
Therefore machines cannot think

You are using the identical logic:

Kavorkian thinks that people have the right not to be tortured.
Kavorkian liked to see people dead.
Therefore I have the right to torture people.

You have the right to use your deep insights into history and psychology to run your own life, but not other people's.
