On October 11, 2007 Dr. Jack Kevorkian will speak at the University of Florida. His resume includes at least 130 assisted suicides, several notable writings, and an eight year stint in prison (out of the 10-25 years sentenced for second-degree murder in the 1998 poisoning of Thomas Youk). Kevorkian accepted my school's offer by ACCENT, which is the largest student-run speaker's bureau in the nation, as well as a Student Government agency.
Assuming he is granted special permission from his parole officer to leave Michigan, Dr. Kevorkian will be greeted here in Gainesville, Florida with open arms from many students and professors. It should be one of only a few school appearances by him, due to his fragile health (thankfully no other doctors have yet proposed the euthanasia of him!). Kevorkian is terminally ill with Hepatitis C and diabetes, stoking rumors of his own imminent death. read more
