Some info on the doc Dr. Jack Kevorkian is a retired pathologist based in Michigan. Since 1990 he has been in the news for helping at least 130 people die. He is an Obitiatrist. Obitiatry means going to one's death with the help of a doctor. Kevorkian believes that the continued denial of a good death to doomed human beings is a step backwards, a step away from a truly civilized society. His views are outlined in his 1991 book 'Prescription: Medicide - The Goodness Of A Planned Death'. He has been called 'Dr. Death', 'Jack the Reaper', and a murderer. In fact, he is about compassion, choice and dignity. He is a brilliant, caring doctor with honesty, courage, and integrity. His recent conviction on second degree murder is a step backwards and an inhuman decision for the suffering and dying around the world.
