Rotten travesty. Yeah. Send me to jail for contempt. Try that. Go ahead.
Jack Kevorkian -
I knew I was getting into one of the most illegal things in the world. It was the right thing to do.
Jack Kevorkian
-
I've seen schizophrenics who are so hopeless, you couldn't cheer them, and their lives are miserable and they end up as suicides. That's not right.
Jack Kevorkian -
I'm not radical.
Jack Kevorkian -
My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.
Jack Kevorkian -
The Jews were gassed. Armenians were killed in every conceivable way... So the Holocaust doesn't interest me, see? They've had a lot of publicity, but they didn't suffer as much.
Jack Kevorkian -
My intent was to carry out my duty as a doctor, to end their suffering. Unfortunately, that entailed, in their cases, ending of the life.
Jack Kevorkian -
The law doesn't create a right.
Jack Kevorkian
-
First of all, do any of you here think it's a crime to help a suffering human end his agony? Any of you think it is? Say so right now. Well, then, what are we doing here?
Jack Kevorkian -
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
Jack Kevorkian -
You've gotta know what death is to know life!
Jack Kevorkian -
What I think a doctor should do is prevent disease, by any means necessary.
Jack Kevorkian -
I'm not a romantic.
Jack Kevorkian -
All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right.
Jack Kevorkian
-
I always said all my life if I wasn't born and they gave me the question I'd say I don't want to be born.
Jack Kevorkian -
The patient's autonomy always, always should be respected, even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.
Jack Kevorkian -
I don't persuade to suicide.
Jack Kevorkian -
Not one has shown an iota of fear of death. They want to end this agony.
Jack Kevorkian -
My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
Jack Kevorkian -
I'm not lying to myself like most people.
Jack Kevorkian
-
I didn't do this for other people; I did this for me. I fought for this right for me - does that sound selfish?
Jack Kevorkian -
There's no doubt I expect to die in prison.
Jack Kevorkian -
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
Jack Kevorkian -
Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I'm doing.
