Jack Kevorkian artwork

They’re all kinda creepy. Take this one, entitled “Fever”:

Jack Kevorkian artwork

“This is one of an original series of paintings (now lost) concerning various medical signs and symptoms. It depicts the great discomfort of intense bodily heat. The inferno is internal; and in some tragic cases even the will to live is charred.”

Jack Kevorkian still remains America’s only truly cost-effective physician.

The man is a ghoul and a serial killer. He wraps his pathological attraction to death and the sense of control and power that controlling the timing and mechanics of the deaths of others under the thinnest of veils of compassion and personal autonomy. He was willing to offer death as his only remedy to suffering.

He is now where he and other serial killers like him belong.

Oh please! In a few years he will be recognized as a great humanitarian and champion of the right to self-determination. If only other physicians weren’t so cowardly. Remember that Nelson Mandela was once inprisoned in South Africa. Doctor heal thyself.

“Remember that Nelson Mandela was once inprisoned in South Africa.”
So what the hell is that suppposed to mean?

He had a great seriall killer schtick going. What other killer had victims actively seek him out. He had the support of millions, including Anon 8:56. Many serial killers liked to bask in the publicity of their actions; Kevorkain got to step out from the shadows of anonymity and be the center of attention for a decade. Even Stallin and Hitler were more reserved in publically taking credit for their work.

Let’s just say a few M.D.’s other than Doctor Jack come to mind.

The patient’s he aided sought his help in dying. He was of selfless service and knew he could go to jail for his actions. These were not cowardly actions on the part of any participant.
