I think I agree with him on his philosophical standings...but how he goes about it is just awful.

i'm curious as to why you (originally) supported his imprisonment? how was his behavior vulgar? what behavior? his work?
what about 'how he goes about' ending someone's life is awful?

i have seen the documentary, i never thought that his helping someone end their pain should be up to anyone except that individual (and if the patient isn't in a position to decide--that's when i would think others need to be involved.)
i really don't get how much (all?) of health care, for the individual, is the concern of government agencies and insurance companies: a person's wishes often come last.
last, i happen to think that good doctors are a little 'odd' --they're certainly not charming and maybe not even mannerly, but that doesn't take away from them being good at 'doctoring'.
