Abstract

Tom Koch's review of Jack Kevorkian's “subjects” is a valuable look at this one (in)famous crusader's practices. The immediate question raised, and to which Koch provides his own perspectives, is what practical conclusions might be drawn from the final experiences and actions of this cohort of suffering individuals. My briefest and perhaps flippant answer is “few, if any”—including, unfortunately, those derived or hinted at by Koch himself.
