Jack Kevorkian
Dying is not a crime.
Jack Kevorkian
I think the Supreme Court does have the authority, which is not used, to declare a blanket right for all people, all adults.
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
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
Jack Kevorkian
My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.
