[Kevorkian] is disqualified from even trying to answer this question. He has spent the past few years promoting his ideas about the desirability of euthanasia, obitoriums, killing prisoners in a way that permits the salvage of their organs for transplantation and marketing his goofy, homemade death machine. To say that Kevorkian had a conflict of interest when it came time to decide if [Janet Adkins] should be allowed to use his machine is to speak in the faintest whisper of understatement

MINNEAPOLIS - Sometime on June 4, Jack Kevorkian, a retired pathologist and self-promoting, self-styled free-thinker, drove a 54-year-old Portland, Ore., woman, Janet Adkins, in his old VW van out to a trailer park on the outskirts of Detroit. He says he attached her arm to his homemade euthanasia machine and monitored her heartbeat while she used it to kill herself. Kevorkian says he hopes Janet Adkins's death will force the issue of euthanasia into the public spotlight. Incredibly, it is doing that

The key events took place almost unnoticed in California. In March, the California Medical Association adopted a resolution supporting the legal availability of the abortion pill, RU 486. This followed hard on the heels of a resolution by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors calling for RU 486 to be made available to women

Rural America is facing a health-care crisis. All over the United States, few doctors are willing to establish and maintain practices in small towns and rural counties. Huge parts of Mississippi and West Virginia - totaling an area larger than Rhode Island and Connecticut combined - have only a single doctor to provide care. And numerous counties in Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska and many other states have no doctors at all

The prospect of a free, democratic and reunified Germany represents a triumphant moment for those who treasure democracy. A reunified Germany also brings to mind painful, tragic memories of a unified Germany that was totalitarian, fascist and racist - a nation responsible for the deaths of tens of millions

THE prospect of a free, democratic and reunified Germany represents a triumphant moment for those who treasure democracy. A reunified Germany also brings to mind painful, tragic memories of a unified Germany that was totalitarian, fascist and racist - a nation responsible for the deaths of tens of millions. Optimism about Germany's future depends in large measure on Germany's willingness to fully acknowledge its tragic past. The West German government is now facing a stern test of its willingness to confront the nightmares of the past to reassure the world about its dreams for the future

William E. Seidelman and Arthur L. Caplan say that it is important for East and West Germany to pay homage to the people slain in Nazi concentration camps in World War II
