Jack Kevorkian, 79, affectionately known as “Dr. Death” by his many admirers, is to be released from prison next month. Indications are that this convicted felon will go on a speaking circuit, charging as much as $100,000 per engagement. This is only months after his lawyer pleaded for his release citing hepatitis and other ailments as reason for the Doc being at death’s door.
After spending 8 years at American tax-payer expense, Doc has finally decided to “pay some bills”, and what better than to talk about “the right to die”. Kevorkian’s long obsession with death bleeds through the canvas, literally. For a sampling, see here. It’s no small surprise that this prime candidate for the “sorry, try again” photo of beauty treatments hasn’t decided to take a dose of his own medicine, but like other normal people, it seems that Doc is still deeply charmed with his own existence.
It feels like yesterday when this psycho who effortlessly helped over 130 undoubtedly satisfied ‘customers’ to their deaths was being put away for good, but it seems the Doc is back to haunt.

Sorry, but I cannot agree with you. That 'Doc' was sent to prison at all, merely for showing human compassion, is a travesty of justice. Your thinking appears to be shaped by the Judaeo-Christian ethic, whereby your 'immortal soul' will be reclaimed by God only when he's good and ready. (hex)
Hex, your comment merits a post in response. I'll attempt to flesh out my views on suicide and euthanasia. Consider it pending.
