Still, I don't see MUCH of a difference between this and the services Dr. Kevorkian provided his patients.
For me, the emphasis is on MUCH.
There is one technicality involved-- but is right and wrong determined on technicalities?

I see the difference as this: no one ended this man's life. Unlike where Dr. Kevorkian gives drugs which cause the death to occur, this man simply had a ventilator removed.
This man died naturally.
There was no human intervention or drugs given to expedite an early death. That's the difference, which, IMO, is a big issue.
