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
I would not want to live with a tube in my neck and not be able to move a finger. I wouldn't - that to me is not life.
Jack Kevorkian
