Assisted Suicide

The man who was in the middle of it all "DR. Death" is going to get his disputed parole on June of next year. Dr. Kevorkian was arrested and convicted for assisting Thomas Youk to commit suicide in 1998 that was televised on "60 Minutes" a CBS program. Thomas Youk was suffering from Gehrig’s disease and died by taking poison administrated by Dr. Kevorkian that resulted into his being convicted for a second degree murder and was sentenced for a maximum of 25 years. The doctor who claims to have helped at least 130 people is reported to have a deteriorating health problem. There is still fear that he could be a danger for society if he is released, but he has said that part of his life is over and will not be involved in assisted suicide again.
