Dr. Kevorkian Dr. Kevorkian was a controversial figure in the 1990s when he began providing unsanctioned assisted suicide service to terminally-ill patients. Kevorkian believed he was helping put an end to pain and suffering for people, but doing so without approval from governing bodies and medical boards, which landed him in a lot of trouble. We review his life and controversy as well as the top of medical aid in dying in general. We'll share our thoughts and perspectives on this complex topic.  Recommendations - Abraham: Shrinking (season 3; https://tv.apple.com/us/show/shrinking/umc.cmc.apzybj6eqf6pzccd97kev7bs) - Shane: The Silo Series (https://hughhowey.com/books/) Holidays (4/15/2026): - Anime Day - Banana Day - Income Tax Pay Day - Jackie Robinson Day - Microvolunteering Day - National ASL Day - National Griper’s Day - One Boston Day - One Day Without Shoes - Rubber Eraser Day - School Librarian Day - That Sucks Day - Titanic Remembrance Day - Universal Day of Culture - World Art Day - Canada Book Week - Holocaust Remembrance Week - International Trombone Week Links and References:  - https://www.biography.com/scientists/jack-kevorkian?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=mgu_ga_bio_md_pmx_prog_mix_us_23714526419&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23709185673&gbraid=0AAAAApTwOX01mKncxazFbedZzW3FKJnvL&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkMjOBhC5ARIsADIdb3cDx891VSAYDiwrS-NA6xusSRJuVnDalBpeVTVHca8Bd7dRO2NQJ6gaArVWEALw_wcB - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9588508/ - https://www.mydeath-mydecision.org.uk/key-statistics/ - https://www.dignityindying.org.uk/why-we-need-change/the-facts-about-assisted-dying/ - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8655630/ - https://www.heritage.org/health-care-reform/report/four-problems-physician-assisted-suicide - https://aul.org/physician-assisted-suicide/history/ - https://daily.jstor.org/history-euthanasia-movement/

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. ‘It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor..”

“The Shape of Stories” began as the basis for Kurt Vonnegut’s anthropology master thesis at University of Chicago in the late 1940s. It was rejected as the committee felt Vonnegut’s theory was too simplistic; He felt the committee thought his theory was “too much fun"

A passage from Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut Jr with a section highlighted of the main character reprimanding a side character for living their whole life focusing on who/what he hates

A passage from Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. where the protagonist tells a side character how foolish they are to hate someone/thing so much that he convinces himself God must hate that thing too. The foolishness of viewing oneself as wageing war with pure evil and thinking themselves virtuous

Here's this from #MotherNight by #KurtVonnegutJr: (the #book / #novel)

by the way, I'm still getting used to how this whole #alttext thing works, but I am trying to include a general description of what the passage in each image contains

“True terror is to wake up one morning and realize that your high school class is running the country.” #KurtVonnegutJr
