Dr. Kevorkian believed that terminally ill people had the right decide how and when they wanted to die. He was responsible for a number of what he termed assisted suicides where he would set up a euthanasia machine that could be activated by the terminally ill patient. Kevorkian did not participate in the activation of the devices and the patient had to be able to activate the device without assistance.

Technically, he did not put anyone to death.

Dr. Kevorkian (or "Dr. Death," as the tabloids preferred to call him), came to notoriety as an active "assisted suicide" campaigner. For his admission of administering the drug that caused the death of Thomas Youk, he was charged with second-degree murder and sentenced to 10-25 years in 1999. He was released on parole on June 1, 2007 after having served 8 years of his sentence, which was conditional on not assisting anybody in their suicide.
