Wesley Smith has known for a long time that Jack Kevorkian was creepy. And thanks to Wesley and Rita L. Marker and others, First Things readers have come to know this as well.
And now, to confirm their assessments on creepiness, comes Sanjay Gupta’s interview with Kevorkian on CCN. When asked, “Is medicine a noble profession?” Kevorkian’s final answer was “No, it is not.” Also from this interview: “The single worst moment of my life . . . was the moment I was born.” Okay. Hmm.
Kevorkian may consider his work a healing ministry—sure, if he considers the sickness to be life itself—but we should never make that mistake.
