Jack Kevorkian: "Let Doctors, not Legislators, Practice Medicine"

Jack Kevorkian has been hitting the lecture circuit in Florida.  Last month he was at the University of Florida.  Yesterday, he was at Nova Southeastern.

My favorite quote from Kevorkian:  "Today, the government - not the medical community - decides which health practices are acceptable.  You can't dictate medical procedures by law.  They change all the time."

My favorite quote from a commentator (Peg Sandeen, director of Death With Dignity):  "He illustrated some of the significant problems that can happen when this is not regulated."  (Miami Herald)
