Jack Kevorkian
Okay kiddo, do you know what a doctor is? A doctor is someone who helps people who are sick or hurt get better. But did you know that there was a doctor named Jack Kevorkian who wanted to help people who were very sick and suffering, but couldn't get better?
Jack Kevorkian is a doctor who became well-known for his ideas about something called "assisted suicide." Assisted suicide means that someone helps another person to end their own life. Dr. Kevorkian believed that people who had incurable illnesses and were in a lot of pain should have the right to decide to end their own lives, and that doctors like him should be able to help them.
Many people disagreed with Dr. Kevorkian's ideas, and some even thought that assisted suicide should be against the law. But Dr. Kevorkian believed so strongly in his cause that he didn't stop helping people who wanted to end their lives. He even went to jail for a while because of it.
Some people think that Dr. Kevorkian did the right thing by helping sick people who were suffering, while others think that what he did was wrong. But no matter what, his ideas about assisted suicide helped start an important conversation about end-of-life care, and made people think about what it means to have the right to choose how we live and die.
