Dr. Death Dead

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Jack Kevorkian is dead at the age of 83.

Dr. Jack Kevorkian, known as Dr. Death, killed terminally ill patients who desired to end their lives before the natural course of their affliction took their remaining moments from them. Between 1990 and 1998, Dr. Death claimed to have ended the lives of over 130 self-suicide victims. He performed these procedures with a machine, but when Dr. Death administered a lethal injection himself on a patient, he wound up serving a sentence of eight years in prison for second-degree murder.

Dr. Kevorkian's "suicide machine" was built from scrap parts, and delivered a fatal dose of poison to his patients intravenously, so that the people may kill themselves with his assistance.

Jack Kevorkian's murderous actions ignited a debate over a person's "right to die,"
which eventually led to States like Oregon passing assisted suicide laws. In 1997, Oregon became the first state to implement a law that allowed mentally competent, terminally ill patients to request lethal medications from their physicians; Washington and Montana have followed suit.

Dr. Death's first patient was 54 year old Portland, Oregon resident Janet Adkins. In 1990 Kevorkian used his untested suicide machine, called the "mercitron", on the mother of three adult children who was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and unwilling to let it progress further. Kevorkian's sisters, Flora Holzheimer and Margo Janus, drove Janet Adkins to Groveland Oaks County Park, where Kevorkian was waiting for her in his rusty white 1968 Volkswagen van. He performed the procedure on Mrs. Adkins in the back of that van.

Kevorkian's own death early Friday came pain-free and peacefully in a hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. He was not hooked up to a suicide machine, nor was his death carried out in the back of a van. He chose to die naturally, listening to the music of his favorite composer, Johann Sebastian Bach, in the safety of an intensive care unit.

In an interview on CNN last year Kevorkian said, "The single worst moment of my life . . . was the moment I was born."

A person that hated life was the poster-boy for the Democrat Party's drive to legalize euthanasia. The pro-abortion party, by supporting assisted suicide, truly became the party of death. The Left's only regret is that Kevorkian died before he could head up the death panels for Obamacare.

The liberal media idolized Kevorkian just as the political nut cases did. The New York Times, in their obituary about Kevorkian's death, called the man "fiercely principled."

Think about that for a moment. The leftists, who support mothers killing their own babies, and support killing old folks through methods much like Kevorkian's, called this killer "fiercely principled."

Dr. Death took advantage of people who were emotionally distraught, and weakened psychologically because of their plight, and not only convinced them they'd be better off dead, but that he was willing to help them die.

The drug that Kevorkian used was thiopental, a drug banned from many countries, and now to be banned in America, from death row because it's considered to be too inhumane.

So let's get this straight. The liberal Democrats support killing babies while they reside helplessly in the womb, killing distraught patients who fear dying naturally, killing the elderly with a drug banned on death row, and withdrawing life saving care from the elderly through death panels of a single payer health care system, but they are against the death penalty because those murderous criminals have a right to live.

Do I have that right?

No suicide for Kevorkian, just as their was no government medical care provide for Teddy Kennedy. Kevorkian believed everyone should have the option to die before death became difficult, yet he was not willing to subject himself to the same. Teddy Kennedy support government health care for all, yet fought for his life with expensive private doctors. The liberals believe that government should provide any "benefit" they can think of for the people, but the politicians make themselves exempt.

The party of death is also the party of hypocrites. Crazy, loony hypocrites who are mourning the death of Dr. Death. . . a murderer.
