Death on Demand explores the polarizing role of Jack Kevorkian-"Dr.
Death"-as the most visible leader of the right-to-die movement.
From a feature on the cover of Time magazine to interviews on shows
like 60 Minutes, Kevorkian was a high-profile figure in the
right-to-die movement, capturing constant media attention as he
helped more than one hundred people kill themselves. The book opens
with the death of Janet Adkins in 1990-Kevorkian's first assisted
suicide-then travels back to Kevorkian's medical school days and
follows his nearly four decades as a lone activist. Death on Demand
draws on Kevorkian's interviews and published work as well as
newspaper and magazine articles to describe the doctor's publicity
stunts, criminal trials, years in prison, and activities after he
was paroled. Author Michael DeCesare examines Kevorkian's actions
in the context of the right-to-die movement to understand his
crucial role in bringing the controversial practice of assisted
suicide into the public conversation.
