June 15, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- "The single worst moment of my life . . . was the moment I was born." So says Dr. Jack Kevorkian in a recent interview with CNN.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the journalist conducting the interview, confessed that the remark left him speechless especially since Kevorkian offered the strange and macabre confession without any provocation or lead-up question.
Gutpa writes that, Throughout the two-and-a-half hour interview, [Kevorkian] fluctuated wildly between being downright combative and hostile to being sweet and fatherly.
The journalist also mentioned Kevorkians crazed rants, often about the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution, complete with a defense of James Madison and trashing of Thomas Jefferson.
The interview is part of the lead-up to Kevorkians Thursday interview at 9 PM EST on Larry King Live.
Kevorkian or "Dr. Death" has helped approximately 130 people kill themselves. He also spent 8 years in prison for the second-degree murder of Thomas Youk, who was in the final stages of Amytrophic Lateral Scelerosis at the time of his death. Kevorkian had given Youk the lethal injection himself, and, in a videotape of Youk's death, dared authorities to try to convict him.
Kevorkian told Gutpa that he believes his case should have been heard by the Supreme Court, because the issue of assisted suicide is a constitutional issue. Everyone, says Kevorkian, should have the right to kill him or her self.
"They just don't get it in Oregon, " he says. "Or in Washington state or Montana, the other states," where assisted suicide is currently legal. Assisted suicide is only legal in these states if someone has a terminal illness.
"What difference does it make if someone is terminal?" he says. "We are all terminal."
Five of Kevorkian's victims were found to be healthy after autopsies were performed.
However, when it comes to himself, Kevorkian says that he is not ready to die. "I have purpose in my life and three missions," he said.
The first mission is to warn the human race of its impending doom, due to what Gunta labels a culture of overabundance that will lead to the extinction of the human race.
The second mission is to educate people about assisted suicide, or what Kevorkian calls patholysis the destruction of suffering.
The third mission is to convince the American public that their rights are infringed upon each and every day - and that the Ninth Amendment is not being upheld.
The controversial physicians strange ideas about freedom and the Ninth Amendment are nothing new. In a speech at the University of Florida in 2008, Kevorkian spoke of his desire for anyone to be allowed to do anything at all, denouncing every law as "an infraction of liberty. Every law!"
In that speech he had also said people had a right to smoke marijuana or carry cocaine if they wished.

He wasn’t on track to go to hell for his rejection of God before then.
He gets it deep inside, although he rejects the way out offered through Christ.
Although I'd probably agree with his 9th Amendment arguments myself.
Dante wrote that there were those whose souls were already in hell, yet their bodies walk about the Earth possessed by demons. I present for you exhibit A.
I believe this man will come back as an evil spirit and haunt the living.
Total ghost potential with this dude.
I think you’re on to something.
When I wonder ( and I don’t in his case) about what is going on inside a person I look at the things they produce in their lives.... take for example kavorkians paintings... Some people may have a clearer picture of who this man is by sampling the art he produces....
Oh no, that is only for the poor people who believe what this pervert tells them.
Hope he lives a long painful life.
Serial killer.
Kinda explains why he is obsessed with death.
In that speech he had also said people had a right to smoke marijuana or carry cocaine if they wished.
Sounds like some of the libertarians that used to roam around here on FR.
For a change, something he and I agree on. Thanks waggs.
You are just looking to start a fight, right?
I thought Kervorkian's words sounded like leftist wackos who don't want any rules for themselves, yet want to be free to tell others how they should live their lives -- or not live their lives, as the case may be.
Bingo! You win. Deep down inside his self-hatred was projected on other people and he took their lives to satiate it. Too bad he didn’t have the cojones to take his own and prevent the misery he caused others and worse, the continued press coverage and promotion of his pet social movement, the acceptance of euthanasia. Sick ba$tard.
Everything I need to know in life, I learned in “Tombstone”:
Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
Doc Holliday: Revenge.
Wyatt Earp: For what?
Doc Holliday: Bein’ born.
What a sad little man.He sees no value in his God given life,or the lives of others.
It’s that existentialist nihilism that comes from the pits of hell.
Cheers!
Ok, gtanting that the first side to use the nazi argument loses, and granting thar Hitler was responsible for many,many more deaths, can someone tell me the moral differeence between this man and old Adolf?
After all, both committed deliberate murders for political reasons, and men are not potatoes. The moral degeneracy does not, it seems to me, increase with additional murders. It’s already at absolute zero. (Was that mixed?)
Speaking of temperature, there isn’t a hell hot enough.
Waiting for the good Doctor’s legion of fans to spin that line, how it “humanizes” him.
The ghoul is a first class wacko nutjob. Many of us could have told you this decades ago.
