Dr. Kevorkian Gets Out of Jail

Dr. Kevorkian -- aka "Dr. Death," has just been released from prison after 8 years. He is now 79 years old.

For those who don't know, Jack Kevorkian went to jail after assisting the suicide of a terminally ill man. Jack claimed to assist the suicides of 130 other people.

The whole thing is very polarizing and controversial.

On one hand, the terminally ill folks deserve to die with dignity. Because as many people who will attest for their loved ones who wasted away in agonizing deaths...

On the other hand, this man is a doctor who took the Hippocratic oath to care for his patients. And most major religions forbid suicides...

Jack paid his debt to society. He will command huge speaker fees.

What do you think? Is Jack right or wrong?
