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
If you don't have liberty and self-determination, you've got nothing, that's what this is what this country is built on. And this is the ultimate self-determination, when you determine how and when you're going to die when you're suffering.
Jack Kevorkian
Anytime you interfere with a natural process, you're playing God. God determines what happens naturally. That means when a person's ill, he shouldn't go to a doctor because he's asking for interference with God's will. But of course, patients can't think that way.
Jack Kevorkian
This is not a trial. This is a lynching. There is no law.

Jack Kevorkian
I learned to smile by going through hell. Now I know what hell is and you don't. I can't tell you how it is, cause you can't do it with words.
Jack Kevorkian
Dying is not a crime.
Jack Kevorkian
The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.
Jack Kevorkian
Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I'm doing.
Jack Kevorkian
I suppose, if helping a patient die is killing, I suppose I'm a killer.
Jack Kevorkian
The Supreme Court of the United States has validated the Nazi method of execution in concentration camps, starving them to death.
Jack Kevorkian
My aim in helping the patient was not to cause death. My aim was to end suffering. It's got to be decriminalized.
Jack Kevorkian
Five to six thousand people die every year waiting for organs, but nobody cares.
Jack Kevorkian
There's no doubt I expect to die in prison.
