Among doctors in general, I think more than half support what I'm doing.
Jack Kevorkian
Image
As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.

Image
My religion centers in different areas than what's considered conventional religion.
Jack Kevorkian
Image
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.

The American Medical Association says the humane way is to let people starve and thirst to death. If you did that to an animal, youd be put in jail immediately ... In the face of such insanity masquerading as authority, who wouldnt be strident?

Am I a criminal? The world knows I'm not a criminal. What are they trying to put me in jail for? You've lost common sense in this society because of religious fanaticism and dogma.

What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.

Image
I hate to say this, but I'll repeat it: After death, all we know that you do is stink.
Jack Kevorkian
Image
I have no regrets, none whatsoever.

Image
You're basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It won't work. That's why you have all these problems in the world. Name them: India, Pakistan, Ireland. Name them-all these problems. They're all religious problems.

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
Image
The public has no power. The government knows I'm not a criminal. The parole board knows I'm not a criminal. The judge knows I'm not a criminal.
Jack Kevorkian
Image
She made the decision that her existence had lost its meaning. And you cannot judge that.

Image
I got to dislike parties, like Jefferson and Madison. I think they're harmful. But the system is flawed so badly. I like what Plato said, long ago. Democracy is fit only for a small country. Can't survive in a large country.

I'm not the kind of guy who has best friends.
