Jack Kevorkian


Jack Kevorkian (;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=how to pronounce Kevorkian ) May 26, 1928 – June 3, 2011), was an American pathologist, euthanasia activist, painter, author, composer, and instrumentalist. He is best known for publicly championing a terminal patient's right to die via physician-assisted suicide; he claimed to have assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He was often portrayed in the media as "Dr. Death"; however, many consider him a hero as he helped set the platform for reform. He famously said, "Dying is not a crime."
In 1999, Kevorkian was arrested and tried for his direct role in a case of voluntary euthanasia. He was convicted of second-degree murder and served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence. He was released on parole on June 1, 2007, on condition he would not offer advice nor participate nor be present in the act of any type of suicide involving euthanasia to any other person; as well as neither promote nor talk about the procedure of assisted suicide.〔Monica Davey. ("Kevorkian Speaks After His Release From Prison" ). ''The New York Times''. June 4, 2007.〕
As an oil painter and a jazz musician, Kevorkian marketed limited quantities of his visual and musical artwork to the public.
==Early life and education==
Kevorkian was born in Pontiac, Michigan on May 26, 1928 to Armenian immigrants. His father, Levon, was born in the village of Passen, near Erzurum, and his mother, Satenig, was born in the village of Govdun, near Sivas. His father moved from Turkey in 1912 and made his way to Pontiac, where he found work at an automobile foundry. Satenig fled the Armenian Genocide of 1915, finding refuge with relatives in Paris, and eventually reuniting with her brother in Pontiac. Levon and Satenig met through the Armenian community in their city, where they married and began their family. The couple had a daughter, Margaret, in 1926, followed by son Jack — and, lastly, the third child, Flora.
Kevorkian graduated from Pontiac Central High School with honors in 1945, at the age of 17. In 1952, he graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor.〔
Kevorkian completed residency training in anatomical and clinical pathology and briefly conducted research on blood transfusion. Kevorkian left the active practice of medicine and was sleeping in his own vehicle from time to time.
