All rights reserved. With the help of Kevorkian, Knoxvillian Jack Leatherman ended his life after struggling with pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is said to be the most painful, with no chance of recovery.
Some may say Kevorkian is attempting to play God by assisting people with suicide, but it is totally up to the patient whether he wants to end his life. Kevorkian does not go out looking for people on their deathbeds or walk through hospitals with a sign advertising his services. If you want his help, you have to find him. It is understood the early death of the person would cause pain and suffering for family and friends. But the family and friends should be understanding and realize these chronic diseases the patients are enduring result in physical pain and suffering for the patient.
