December 13 - Where Are They Now? Wednesday - Dr. Death
This week’s WHERE ARE THEY NOW? WEDNESDAY is Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Kevorkian is the Doctor that was convicted of murder for performing assisted suicide for terminally ill people.
Kevorkian has been serving a 10- to 25-year sentence for second-degree murder. After more than eight years behind bars for murder, an ailing Dr. Jack Kevorkian will be paroled in June on a promise not to help anyone else commit suicide, prison officials said Wednesday.
Corrections Department spokesman Russ Marlan said the parole board took the 78-year-old Kevorkian's declining health into consideration, along with the question of whether the former pathologist would be a danger to
society.
Kevorkian is suffering from hepatitis C and diabetes. His weight has dropped to 113 pounds and that he had less than a year to live. Maybe even less if he does get paroled in June, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking.
People have told me that I have some good solutions to some of our most urgent problems. But these same solutions are why I could never get elected.
I’m for Physician-assisted suicide. I’m even for citizen- assisted suicide. If I’m at party and I’m not happy, I leave.
People should have the same option for this party called life. Too many times, people decide they can’t go on so they decide to kill themselves. The only problem is that they usually want to take a few people with them. It is sometimes their “loved” ones or their children. Other times it is total strangers. As we enter the Christmas season, the daily headlines will no doubt be filled with the man in Wisconsin that killed his wife and three kids before turning the gun on himself because he couldn’t go on.
If these terminally focused people were given a legal and sanctioned way out, maybe they would just leave the party quietly and leave the innocents alone.
People are Pro-Choice with their bodies when it comes to abortion. It seems that being Pro-Suicide would be a natural progression of that thought.
Just a thought.
