Though being followed like a celebrity even upon his release today from an eight-year stint in state prison, the former Michigan physician known as "Dr. Death," Jack Kevorkian, is being called a lawbreaker by at least one California member of the Christian Medical Association.
Retired California orthopedic surgeon Dr. John Whiffin says he equates the morality of Kevorkian's actions to bombing abortion clinics or anything else like it that involves performance of illegal actions based on convictions.
"Dr. Kevorkian, basically ... was a ghoul. He is a man who took upon himself the right to defy the law in a country where we are supposed to live by law," Whiffin said, "so that what he was doing was absolutely improper."
Whiffin says Kevorkian's approach violated all levels of personal and medical ethics, and helped move America down a slippery slope of regarding the value of life. The retired surgeon says he sees that downward skid continued and enlarged today, including in the latest such effort in his own home state -- assisted suicide bill AB 374, which is in the California Assembly.
And the culture of death wants to take us further down the slippery slope.

Huh?
Poor aim on my part
Like the sign over a urinal at Friday’s in a major city - - to remain nameless lest the franchisor come down hard on the manager. It read: ‘’ We aim to please, your aim will help.’’
