'''Jack Kevorkian''' (b. 1920) is a physician nicknamed "Dr. Death" for his illegal assistance in at least 130 suicides throughout the 1990s. He was finally convicted of murder in 1999 and sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison.  In 2007, he was released after serving only 8 years because he received time off for good behavior and because he has pledged not to assist in any more suicides. However, Right to Life of Michigan has pointed out that he made similar promises before going on a string of killings that led to his arrest. Kevorkian has made it clear that although he will not help in any more assisted suicides, he does intend to keep advocating for legalization of [[euthanasia]].<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18974940/</ref>
