Serial Killer Kevorkian


CNN's Larry King Live interviewed Jack Kevorkian on Friday, June 18th. For those of you who do not know Jack Kevorkian, he is an infamous advocate of assisted suicide. His claim to fame is, that he helped kill 133 people, which has given him the title of Dr. Death.
 
During the interview, Kevorkian admitted that he directly killed Janet Adkins, in June of 1990, contradicting his previous story, that she performed her own "mercy killing" using his lethal machine. Going back some in history, Kevorkian was charged with the murder of Janet Adkins, but a judge threw out the charges on the basis that Janet caused her own death, using Kevorkian's machine. However, the revelation on Larry King refutes the basis of the judge's decision.
 
During the interview, Jack our serial killer, told Larry King our live interviewer, that Jack himself injected Thomas Wouk with lethal drugs. Our interviewer responded, "usually they kill themselves, right? So it was not pure suicide." Pure suicide? That's an oxymoron! There's nothing pure about killing or encouraging others, to kill themselves. However, Jack wanted the last word. "No, I did the first one too (Janet Adkins was the 1st case). After that, we had the method where the patient could trigger the machine and do it themselves."
 
Kevorkian, by profession, was a non-employed pathologist. He had a fetish for death. However, America presently lives in a culture of death, so Jack had a place to roost. Jack is now 82 yrs. old. His killing career has spanned from 1990 through 1999, resulting in 133 victims that we know. There probably are a lot more that we don't know.
 
The serial killer's sordid career finally came to an end, when he video-taped and aired his 1998 killing of Michigan resident Thomas Youk on CBS's 60 Minute program. Do you wonder where Larry King and 60 Minutes are on the question of assisted suicide? Michigan had banned assisted suicide, so the airing on CBS's 60 Minutes, was all the evidence prosecutors needed to convict Kevorkian, in 1999 of second degree murder with a 10 to 25 yr. sentence.
 
Kevorkian however, was released on parole, after serving only 8 yrs. behind bars. His lawyers claimed that the former pathologist had less than a year to live.
 
HBO will air a documentary entitled, "You Don't Know Jack", starring Al Pacino in a program called "Kevorkian", which premiers on June 28th. Why now?
 
Last year at the University of Florida Kevorkian was a guest lecturer. He said, "Law is an infraction of liberty, and the legislative branch was in the hands of the tyrant." This reflect his strong beliefs that everyone has a right to carry out assisted suicide, but also to smoke marijuana and carry cocaine. Bio-ethicist Wesley Smith commented on his blog, that Kevorkian could perhaps be prosecuted for Adkins murder, given the nature of his admission. "Technically, since there is not statute for limitation for murder, he could be prosecuted for Adkins homicide. Instead, he'll keep getting high level interviews, movies made about him starring Al Pacino, and $50,000 speaking fees at state funded universities. We sure do have a twisted love for outlaws in this country.
 
I couldn't say it better. I might add, all social engineering is preceded by verbal engineering, and there's a lot of that going on to legalize assisted suicide.
