This suburb of Detroit was the scene of a few suicides. These made big news locally. Examines the life, career, and motives of Dr. Kevorkian, and discusses the debate surrounding doctor-assisted suicide for terminal patients From a Book Review: Michael Betzold is a reporter and covers the story and issues of Dr. Kevorkian from a reporters approach by covering the events and including various view points allowing the reader to make their own decision. The book begins with background information on Jack Kevorkian from childhood and personal interest. The story continues laying ground work of events that lead to Dr. Kevorkian's first assisted suicide patient. Then continues to detail the legal and political arena that covers the unanswerable question of personal choice in ending one's life. The complexity and sensitivity of the issue has left laws unmade, which allowed Dr. Kevorkian to continue to assist in 16 more suicides. The book describes each person who is assisted in their deaths by Dr. Kevorkian. Then goes on to provide view point information from the various group, including Right to Life, Hemlock Society, Medical Associations and Religious organizations. Each provide thought provoking ideals. The book is well written, precise, and informative. I had a hard time putting the book down. The topic is one that has effected or will effect each and everyone of us at some point in our lives. This book will leave you uncertain if Dr. Kevorkian was truly the angel of mercy to his patients or zealot following his own mission.
