*** FILE *** Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a retired pathologist and advocate for doctor-assisted suicide for the terminally ill, is shown Aug. 5, 1993 in Southfield, Mich. Kevorkian, whose failing health may deny him a chance to be paroled, said he still believes in assisted suicide but would not choose it for himself. "Remember that I did not advocate assisted suicide," Kevorkian, 78, said in a written response to questions from The Detroit News published Thursday July 13, 2006. "I only advocated that a person should have the right to have the option if he or she, in sound mind, needed and desired it while in irremedial pain and suffering and terminal."(AP Photo/Richard Sheinwald)
