No one is above the law

A concept of common sense today is mostly obtained by the continuous struggle of predecessors. The audience's "he's out of time." It sounds really bitter.

The judge said it well.

“You invited yourself here to make a final stand.

You invited yourself to the wrong forum.

Out nation tolerates differences of opinions because we have a civilized and non-violent way of resolving our conflicts.

We have the means and methods to protest laws with which we disagree.

You can criticize the law, lecture about the law, speak to the media or petition voters, but you must always stay within the limits provided by the law.

You may not break the law or take the law into your own hands.

No one's unmindful of the controversy and emotion that exists over end-of-life issues and pain control.

I assume the debate will continue in a calm and reasoned forum long after this trial, and your activities have faded from the public memory.

But this trial was not about that controversy.

This trial is about you, sir.

You've ignored and challenged the legislature and the Supreme Court.

Moreover, you've defied your own medical profession.

This trial was about lawlessness, about your disregard for a society that exists and flourished because of the strength of our legal system.

No one is above the law.”

But just from the point of view of the movie, the first part is a bit boring... Maybe this is the reality~ For him, it is normal to do a normal thing.

    The superb performance of the old opera bones is not just to praise the death doctor on the basis of moral standards. From Pacino's eyes, you can also see an ordinary person's expectation of fame and attention.

    There are always a few moments when I feel that life is painful and fragile. I have parents who love me deeply, girlfriends and friends who can talk to me, but why does the huge sense of loneliness make me seem helpless. Can you understand me? Would you like to understand me? You are the person I love the most. . .

You Don't Know Jack quotes

  • Jack Kevorkian: It's emotionalism. You know, when heart transplants first started... there was the same prevalent feeling, I mean, even among doctors... that it was wrong, it was contrary to God's will, contrary to nature. Isn't it ghoulish to rip a person's chest open and take out a heart? Or a bypass operation? Ether is the same thing. You have ether, been around for centuries, it wasn't used. Not till 1846. It was discovered in 1543... and before that, everybody was being operated on while they were awake. Surgeons were cutting them open while they were awake. Did you know that, Geoff?

    Geoffery Fieger: No.

    Jack Kevorkian: On, yes. And you know why it was banned? Because of religious dogma. Because of the foolish notion... that there's a God Almighty who wills us to suffer.
