The late Doctor Jack Kevorkian, also known as “Doctor Death,”
the physician who advanced the right-to-die movement by assisting
terminally ill patients with suicide, is in the news again.

Well sort of, his paintings are the cause of a legal dispute…between
his estate and the Armenian Library and Museum of America in
Massachusetts.

The museum claims the late doctor donated the art some 12 years ago.

But last week, the estate of the late doctor notified the museum that
Kevorkian’s niece wants them back, to auction them off.

The museum has now filed a complaint and Valley residents who have
seen his work say they appreciate the art, but that their connection
to Kevorkian runs deeper than that.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
