Physician Heal Thyself

An attorney representing Dr. Jack Kevorkian, filed application with the Michigan Board of Parole and Governor Jennifer M. Granholm seeking the pardon, parole or commutation of Dr. Kevorkian to time served. Kevorkian was convicted of Second Degree Murder in Michigan on April 13, 1999 for helping Thomas Youk voluntarily end his life. Mr. Youk was suffering from ALS. Dr. Kevorkian received a sentence of 10-25 years for the act and another 3-7 years for using a controlled substance to end Youk's life. The petition and doctors state that Dr. Kevorkian will probably not survive another year if kept in prison, because his health has deteriorated so rapidly. Dr. Kevorkian suffers from seriously high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, temporal arthritis, active Hepatitis C which is violently attacking his liver, peripheral arteritis, adrenal insufficiency, chronic pulmonary obstruction disease, hypertensive cardiovascular disease and cataracts. Kevorkian is also suffering from diplopia, vertigo, dysphagia, headaches, left ventricular hypertrophy, osteoporosis, ataxia and eschemia.

Pardon, Parole, Commutation? There is another way! One espoused by the Doctor himself, see picture at left.
