Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the Michigan pathologist who put assisted suicide on the world's medical ethics stage, died early Friday, according to a spokesman with Beaumont Hospital. He was 83.

Dr. Kevorkian assisted more than 100 terminally ill people commit suicide in the 90's. In 1999 Kevorkian was convicted of second degree murder and was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prision. He was released in 2007.

Do you think assisted suicide should be legal or not?

Not. I always considered Dr. Death a cold-blooded killer.

Not. I always considered Dr. Death a cold-blooded killer.

I don't think of Dr. Kevorkian as a cold blooded killer. When you consider that all of the patients were terminally ill, in a considerable amount of pain and the patients ask Mr. Kevorikian to help them, he didn't go looking for them.

I believe that he did go looking for them and not all of his victims were terminally ill.

From Wikipedia:

According to a report by the Detroit Free Press, 60% of the people who committed suicide with Kevorkian's help were not terminally ill. The report further asserted that Kevorkian's counseling was too brief (with at least 19 patients dying less than 24 hours after first meeting Kevorkian) and often lacked a psychiatric exam, even when Kevorkian had been alerted that the patient was unhappy for reasons other than their medical condition. The report also stated that Kevorkian failed to refer at least 17 patients to a pain specialist after they complained of chronic pain, and sometimes failed to obtain a complete medical record for his patients, with at least three autopsies of suicides Kevorkian had assisted with showing the person who committed suicide to have no physical sign of disease.

Dr. Death was a quack, a murderer, and a publicity hound.

Absolutely. Along with everything else negative that can be said about this parasite, he was also a hypocrite.
