Kevorkian has already said that if released he will never do an "assisted
suicide" again.  The reason is that the state of Michigan revoked his
physician's license.  He is an ethical man and believes that ONLY licensed
doctors should be allowed to treat patients.  He will not act as a doctor
since he will never again be licensed to do so.

re #53 wikipedia might be wrong, don't assume everyting you read on wikipedia
is fact.  Kevorkian was also licensed in more than one state.  He has in fact
stated in writing that he will no longer treat patients if he is released.

I wonder which definition of "treat" Dr Death has in mind.

klg don't call him "dr. death", he has a name.  call him "dr. 
kevorkian"  The man has a family and spent a lot of years helping free 
people who were prisoners of their bodies and of chronic pain.  I don't 
think you can appreciate this issue until or unless you have 
experienced that kind of pain and there is nothing you can do about it, 
or if someone you loved has experienced that kind of pain.  

If a horse or a dog or a cat is in that kind of pain, we put them under 
and call it "humane"  Yet, because of religious thinking that these 
people may not even hold to, they are somehow obliged to stay alive 
even when they are screaming in pain day in and day out.  Go to a 
hospital some time to a Chronic ward klg, listen to the screams.  Then 
tell me you don't think its humane of one of these people wants a way 
to die with dignity, just like dogs and horses get.

I rather considered him just unconventional.

Unconventional people often do that. It isn't always obvious what unconvential
course of action will accomplish an objective: e.g., sometimes demonstrations
help, sometimes they hinder.

There isn't.  He was engaged once, but broke it off because his fiancee
"was not self-disciplined."  He has said he never married because he
"couldn't find a perfectly compatible partner who shared his values and
goals and interests."  Huh--who woulda figured?

He has a sister, though, and has said he has no friends other than the
guy who used to sell him carbon monoxide for his, uh, activities.

>don't call him "dr. death", he has a name.

Don't fuss--he supposedly likes the nickname.  He acquired it from his
coworkers when he was a resident at Detroit Receiving Hospital many
years ago.  Young Doc Jack requested the night shift because more people
died then. He'd tape open the eyelids of terminal patients so he could
look into their eyes as they died.  He claimed his goal was to discover
how eyes changed at the moment of death (and published a paper on the
topic). He called his "project" the Death Rounds, and would wear a black
armband for added effect.

Regarding curl's confidence that suicide laws adequately protect those 
who are unable to give their informed consent:


Last year, in The New England Journal of Medicine, two Dutch physicians 
published a set of guidelines for infant euthanasia; one of the doctors 
has admitted to presiding over the killing of at least four babies, by 
means of a lethal intravenous drip of morphine and midazolam (a 
sleeping agent). Although 12-year-olds in Holland already can, with 
their parents' approval, legally enlist doctors to kill them, the 
dispatching of sick babies remains illegal under Dutch law;

It looks like the Netherlands is supposed to have the same prohibition:


"Active" euthanasia, the active killing of a patient at his request by 
a physician, is illegal in the Netherlands. The Dutch criminal code 
provides for 12 years' imprisonment for anyone who "takes the life of 
another at his or her explicit and serious request." 

Nevertheless, an activist judiciary has rendered the statute 
essentially meaningless. In 1973, a doctor who had put her terminally 
ill mother to death with morphine received a suspended sentence of a 
week in jail, plus a year's probation. The court went even further to 
find that, under the proper conditions, active euthanasia would have 
been acceptable and legal.
