RIP, Jack Kevorkian

Jack Kevorkian has died at 83. I did not follow his activism closely enough to pass judgement on whether his actions were well-judged, but I do believe people should be free to choose their own way of dying. Indirect cause of death seems to be hep C, contracted during transfusion experiments back in the 1960s, so ultimately I guess it was trying to save life that killed him.

OTOH, according to his attorney, he died peacefully and without pain. All things considered, that part seems apt.
