Danh ngôn của Jack Kevorkian (Sứ mệnh: 5)

The patient decides when it's best to go.
As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.
The Supreme Court of the United States... has validated the Nazi method of execution in... concentration camps, starving them to death.
I will admit, like Socrates and Aristotle and Plato and some other philosophers, that there are instances where the death penalty would seem appropriate.
I'm for absolute autonomy of the individual, and an adult, competent woman has absolute autonomy. It's her choice.
What looks like enjoyment is the sneer of contempt. That's not a smile.
I don't enjoy good food. I don't enjoy flashy cars. I don't care if I live in a dump. I don't enjoy good clothes. This is the best I've dressed in months.
Not one has shown an iota of fear of death. They want to end this agony.
The patient's autonomy always, always should be respected, even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.
The American people are sheep. They're comfortable, rich, working. It's like the Romans, they're happy with bread and their spectator sports. The Super Bowl means more to them than any right.
My ultimate aim is to make euthanasia a positive experience.
I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.
I'm not a romantic.
You've gotta know what death is to know life!
Freedom has a price. Most people aren't willing to pay it.
