Actually, he was a psychopath. People politicized his actions because it fit their agenda, but the fact is that maybe 25 percent of his victims were terminally ill. The rest consisted of people who had chronic health problems or depression, and older women who 'didn't want to be a burden'. In one case, a woman who was not ill in any way was brought to Dr. Kevorkian by her husband, who remarried a few weeks later.
He was never a practicing physician. He was a pathologist, and he never actually treated any patients. He did however, enjoy photographing the eyes of the dying. And painting with human blood.
If enough people had been willing to separate the man from the cause, they would have seen him for what he was - probably the most prolific serial-killer in the entire history of mankind.
Dr. Kevorkian and his supporters absolutely sold the world a bill of goods and personally, I'm glad he's gone.
