KEVORKIAN ASSISTS HIS 12TH SUICIDE
Dr. Jack Kevorkian's opponents vowed Monday to seek an immediate ban on assisted suicide following his role in the death Monday of multiple sclerosis victim Elaine Goldbaum of Southfield.
A ban enacted late last year doesn't take effect until March 30, and opponents fear Kevorkian will continue his stepped up pace in assisting suicides. Goldbaum, 47, was the sixth person Kevorkian has helped die during the waiting period and the 12th since June 1990.
State Rep. Ken Sikkema said Monday that legislation will be introduced, perhaps as early as this week, and that he would do everything in his power to get the House to pass the immediate ban. It would require a two-thirds majority in each house.
