Sanjay Gupta interviews Jack Kevorkian

“I have no regrets, none whatsoever,” he said. It was windy outside, but it was also over 90 degrees in sunny Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was now sweating, and he was … well, cold.

He shifted his gaze from his lawyer back to me. “Sanjay, you want to know the single worst moment of my life?”
That wasn’t the question I asked, but in fact I was curious to know the answer.

“OK,” I replied — a little uneasily.

He smiled now and said in a very deliberate, almost staccato voice: “The single worst moment of my life… was the moment I was born.” And, we had officially begun my sit-down interview with Dr. Jack Kevorkian.

In addition to the nihilism inherent in thinking the worst moment of his life was his own birth, Kevorkian seems to exhibit an enthusiasm for killing that borders on a chilling amalgam of insanity and the demonic.

The only good thing about this is the fact that Kevorkian has become an unintentionally effective advocate against euthanasia.
