Dr. Jack Kevorkian surprised a crowd of over 5,000 people at the University of Florida (UF) Tuesday night when he unleashed an attack on the "made up mythology of religion," and said that while in medical school he never took the Hippocratic Oath.

So much for the Left's most recent strategy of attack on the Death Penalty.

Kevorkian, 79,..."

Mr. KeCORPSEian might consider the fact that he has very few years left before he must stand before this so-called "FAKE" God we peoons all worship in blind ignorance...

Hope he's ready...

the medically-involved deaths of author Mark Twain

Twain dropped dead of a heart attack.

George V

George V was murdered. He didn't even consent to Dawson's murdering him and his family was not informed by Dawson that he intended to murder the King.

Until Dawson died and his diaries became public, the royal family believed Dawson's lying tale that the King had succumbed to his illness.

Had Dawson's true actions been known, he would have been justly hung for treason.

"The only oath we have, the only ethics we have in medicine are religious ethics" and "religion is nothing more than a made-up mythology [and] the basis of religion is fear." "A doctor limited by dogma isn't a real physician; he should have been a priest," Kevorkian said. "They think life's sacred... I don't feel sacred, frankly. I've got a life and I don't feel sacred."

Yep, there you have it.

His mind is going. Maybe it’s time for the hemlock to do its thing.

“I’d like to see a piano fall out of nowhere and crush this bastard.”

You kidding me? It would miss him since he is so scrawny and gaunt.
He would go right threw a crack unscathed.

He is a spiritually sick man. But the not-so-even-handed write up sure rubbed it in that there was a big crowd with lots of Dr. K sympathizers.

Well, that ought to make some of FR's resident athiests's hearts swell with pride.

Kevorkian digressed into an attack on Catholic doctors, the Hippocratic oath and religion.

Why do I get the feeling that 'dr' Kevorkian is related to this guy....

Dr. Josef Mengele


At the least, they must be 2nd cousins.

OK, you choose your physician - Catholic Doctors whose religion tells them all life is a gift from God, or someone nicknamed “Dr. Death.” Hmmmmmm

Dr. Mengele was more of a kindly Dr. Marcus Welby type in manner. Kevorkian seems like Dr. Death even on the outside.

My physician father once went to a medical convention that had the actor Robert Young as a speaker. They gave Young an award for the positive portrayals of a caring doctor. Young told some funny stories about how people would stop and ask him for medical advice (recognizing him from his role as MARCUS WELBY, MD) even though he had no medical training.

The point is that doctors aspire in bedside manner to be kindly and caring professionals. Dr. Jack aspires to be a ghoul.

True love is shown in the poem “Do not go gentle into that good night”. In which a dying father is asked to fight on even though it is good on the other side. These “quality-of-lifers” say on the other hand, “it troubles me to look upon such suffering so off with you”.

Christians should not fear death but should still fight for that last breath and try to take another. Life has a spiritual value and should not be surrendered lightly.

I could be wrong, but I thought the terms of Kevorkian’s early release were that he wasn’t supposed to murder anyone else, and he wasn’t supposed to run around drumming up support for others to euthanize their fellow citizens.

How sad, he's got a burned out hole where his soul should be.
