Read the newspaper article quickly before listening and say if Dr Kevorkian a saint or a monster?
- In the USA, a doctor is facing trial for helping a woman kill herself. Mrs Atkins, aged 54, contacted Dr Jack Kevorkian and explained that she wanted to end hoer life because she was suffering from an incurable disease. The doctor put his suicide machine into a van and he drove to a park where he told Mrs Atkins how to administer the fatal injection. In his defense the doctor said:’ She knew what she was doing, she wanted to end her life. I asked her if she knew what that meant. She said, “Yes, I’m going to die. There’s nothing for me. There’s no life.”
