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
Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I'm doing.
Jack Kevorkian
I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.
Jack Kevorkian
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
