Doctor Jack Kevorkian, Doctor Death, has passed away. He has left us with a legacy of thoughts about the destiny of human beings: birth, life, and death.

His death proved that he was not God. Rather he was someone with a lot of compassion for other human beings dying in pain. Politics refused to support his effort to give rights to those suffering in pain to chose to die.

Doctor Kevorkian believed in himself to the point of accepting jail over freedom. He will certainly face God and answer many questions. For sure Doctor Kevorkian left the world in an honorable way. Peace to his soul. As the Igbo of Nigeria say, “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.”
