Jack Kevorkian
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
Jack Kevorkian

Jack Kevorkian
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Jack Kevorkian

Jack Kevorkian
I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.
Jack Kevorkian
I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
Jack Kevorkian
She made the decision that her existence had lost its meaning. And you cannot judge that.
Jack Kevorkian
I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.
Jack Kevorkian
If Christ can die in a barn, I think the death of a human in a van is not so bad.
