VICTORY FOR DR. DEATH
Noting that the state of Michigan has no law barring
physician-assisted suicide, a judge in Pontiac dismissed murder
charges against Jack Kevorkian, a retired pathologist, for his
role in the death of two chronically ill women in 1991. Though
the state senate has passed a bill that would make assisted
suicide a felony, the house has yet to follow suit. "We have
more consumer protection for people buying a car than we do for
people making this type of decision," says state senator Fred
Dillingham, the bill's sponsor.
