Dr Death

Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a Michigan native went to medical skill at the University of Michigan. As soon as he started his career he was fascinated with death. Even after a short hiatus as an artist in California, the Dr returned to Michigan and immediately started back as an advocate for assisted suicide. But laws only change after being pushed by someone and his 130 physician assisted suicides weren't legal. After years fighting the legal system, he thought he could head up his own trial. Resulting in imprisonment for a time. Still the ball started moving and due partially for his efforts, some states now recognize physician assisted suicide as a legal way to end a life.
