'Dr Death' is dead

Oakland County | Assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian dies | The Detroit News: Jack Kevorkian, a former Oakland County pathologist who stirred public debate about physician-assisted suicide and admitted helping 130 people end their lives, has died. He had been hospitalized with kidney and respiratory problems for several weeks and was 83. Michigan's most famous felon pathologist was dubbed 'Dr. Death' in the heyday of his assisted-suicide crusade.

Editor: Consider the words of the Preacher --

It is better to go to a house of mourning
Than to go to a house of feasting,
Because that is the end of every man,
And the living takes it to heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter,
when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
The mind of the wise is in the house of mourning,
While the mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
--Ecclesiastes 7:2-4

Kevorkian's mind dwelt on death, but did not "take it to heart." He did not fear God or remember his Creator (Eccl. 11:9, 12:13-14).
