From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Dr. Jack Kevorkian says he is counseling four patients who want to end their lives, even though he faces murder charges in the deaths of two women who committed suicide with machines he invented. The retired pathologist told a Detroit newspaper he would obey a judge’s order not to assist any more suicides while the two charges are pending. A grand jury indicted Kevorkian, 63, in the 1991 deaths of Marjorie Wantz, 58, and Sherry Miller, 43. Both women suffered from non-terminal diseases.
