...with their superiors as an example of the advantages of the "egalitarian spirit." The comparison, while somewhat funny, is inherently absurd and indeed inappropriate. The Israeli Defense Forces are a military organization. They probably want to build a sense of comaraderie in their ranks because they just might all die together in the defense of their nation. However, death by a sniper's bullet isn't something that I have on my mind when I attend lectures. Lecture halls aren't trenches and the professor isn't our platoon commander leading us in a campaign against subject material. I have...
Over the next weeks they stayed in touch, as Kevorkian helped Gary find a private home to die in. He explained that the Michigan state legislature was moving fast to ban physician-assisted suicide. Gary speeded up his planning, had a psychiatric evaluation and assembled a meeting with family members and their minister to talk through his decision.

It's not that he has any special fondness for watching women die, but rather, he has explained, because "women are just far more realistic about facing death and have got the guts to do it." Kevorkian considers his treatment a form of toughlove. He recalls his first client, ^ Janet Adkins, a vibrant 54-year-old just diagnosed with Alzheimer's who sought out Kevorkian because she was terrified...
