“Doctor Death” to visit Armenia

“Doctor Death” Jack Kevorkian, the controversial American doctor is arriving in Armenia today, March 9, well informed circles told PanARMENIAN.Net.

“Doctor Death” Jack Kevorkian is an American pathologist, right-to-die activist, painter, composer, and instrumentalist. He is most noted for publicly championing a terminal patient's right to die via physician-assisted suicide; he claims to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He famously said that "dying is not a crime."

Between 1999 and 2007, Kevorkian served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. He was released on parole on June 1, 2006, due to good behavior.
