‘Dr. Death’ Jack Kevorkian: “Medicine Is Controlled By Religion” (Video)

By on April 28, 2010 in News 9

Here’s doctor and right-to-die activist Jack Kevorkian speaking with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto about the recent HBO film, You Don’t Know Jack. This film is a biopic of the good doctor’s infamous career later in life: those actions that landed him in prison and the media circus that revolved around him.

Kevorkian candidly expresses his views on Fox News and his opinion of this film:

    Personal Experience is what every “natural scientist” ignores. Just because something is not demonstratable through the scientific method does not mean it does not exist. God will not be proven or disproven. Those who experience God personally will Know God exists, those who do not will either simply believe or not believe. No morals or dogma necessary here. The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained.

      Indeed, too bad that people of every religion in the world have these experiences and their gods name is always different. Yahwe doesnt have the monopoly on the “personal experience”. My question is how do you tell when that experience is on the side of “I am a short guy on a tall horse leading my armies into battle and my wife is Josephine”… If your god gave you a personal experience that makes no basis for me to start believing in Her because… I didnt have that experience, you did. Personal experience has been also recently proven to be just the same as vivid imagination. Scientifically, via fMRI scan, the brain lights up when “god speaks” in exactly the same spots that light up when the person accesses personal values and problem solving / introspection.

      But when is 'personally experiencing God' just imagined, like Santa Claus? People kill and then say God told them to do it, then they're sent to the quack house.

    All that I see here is that the USA is a de-facto theocracy and that's no news at all. It's one more reason why I am happy to never live there again.

     To this dr death  elders = kill disability= kill curable illness= kill The attitude that he is giving people is killing is ok and now lazy hospital staff are thinking it is just easier to kill the patient rather than save the patient even if it is an illness that is not terminal. These kind of killings are just 100% wrong. It is a shame that some terminally ill patients want this but no one should be allowed to do this because it will just get really out of hand and death will be the easy way out for lazy medical staff who do not feel like working or saving a life instead. The staff can always find an excuse to kill or let a patient go especially if this were ever legalized GOD FORBID. If it does become legal to kill then the medical field door is open wide for all the serial killers to come into and they do not even have to worry about getting caught because everything is fine if killing is going on. How easy it would be for the medical staff to legally kill. Then watch how many people will die in medical facilities. Life is  very important and  it should be looked at like that because life means much more to people than death. If death is the most important thing it will bring out the wrong attitudes in people like how my mom was killed by medical staff. They were people who had these attitudes. My mom never asked this terrible medical staff to kill her or let her die she had something that was very curable. She fought hard but the staff would not let her live and forced her to die.They tried to force her to die by forcing her into a nursing home and breaking her heart since that did not work they used sedatives which everyone was told that she could not take. Then they finally were able to force her to die by enough narcotics and never treating a very treatable skin infection that was given to her and finally went sepsis.Yet the medical staff that she dealt with wanted her dead or else everyone would have treated her properly and she would have been here today.The sad thing is is that she had no freedom or rights they were all  taken away from her.This did not happen in some third world country far far away with no laws.No this all happened in southern california, when others made the choice to force her to die. I noticed that dr deaths first patient was an elder with alzheimers. These are the patients that medical staff want to get rid of first and people with disabilities too.With my mom they actually had to work very hard to get her to die against her wishes. This extremely wicked man is such a serial killer and I really would love to see him and anyone with his attitude locked up in prison not roaming the streets convincing people that innocent people must die like what happened to my mom. This is one horrible man and I am shocked that he did not get life in prison with no chance of getting out on good behavior because his behavior has and always will be that of a serial killer. These killers like this beast not only take away the person who wants to live they also ruin an entire family’s life like they did with our family.These kind of killers must be stopped no matter what it takes.We especially need to get them out of the medical field and lock them away where they can not kill again.
