Dad's home, I think

Dad was supposed to actually come home this afternoon! :) I've been out and haven't been able to confirm it, but will do so in the morning. Tuesday's MRI showed that it was only muscle tears, and those heal on their own. He was supposed to be sent home with a walker and will get physical therapy. Interestingly, it only costs $40 to be sent home in an ambulance, while a cab in NYC would cost nearly that much. And what with the transit strike he'd have to share it w/ four people. Do walkers count as a person?

Kevorkian in grave health, denied pardon

Dr. Jack Kevorkian, famed as "Dr. Death" (no relation to Ender's Game) for performing assisted suicide, is in extermely poor health, but has repeatedly been denied pardon and parole despite his condition. (Pardon in such cases is the usual course of action.)

I don't get it, what do they think will happen, he'll kill himself? Well, if they think his helping others die is so horrible, wouldn't they think killing himself is a horrible fate too, and therefore why prevent it? If they want to prevent him from having better conditions, such as thinking that Kevorkian euthanizing himself would be a mercy, then why's he in jail in the first place?
