- 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.
