News: The Doctor is free Now.. + Circumcision & HIV

Dr. Death is free:

LANSING, Michigan (AP) -- After more than eight years in prison, a frail Dr. Jack Kevorkian will be paroled in June with a promise that he won't assist in any more suicides, a prison spokesman said Wednesday.

Kevorkian, once the nation's most vocal advocate of assisted suicide for the terminally ill, Mr. Kevorkian’s lawyer said that his client was suffering from hepatitis C and diabetes and that he had less than a year to live. He is serving a 10- to 25-year sentence for second-degree murder in the 1998 poisoning of Thomas Youk, 52, an Oakland County man with Lou Gehrig's disease. Michigan banned assisted suicide in 1998.



I'm from Michigan and I Remember this case. I feel if you're terminally ill and want to end your suffering and you go looking for Dr. Kevorkian to help make the transition go smoothly, Why not!! I don't think he should have done anytime.

What do you Think?

Circumcision Reduces Chance of Contracting HIV??


According to the National Institue of Health, it has been reported that circumcision can reduce the possibility of a man contracting AIDS from heterosexual sex by 50%.

Uncircumcised men are thought to be more susceptible because the underside of the foreskin is rich in Langerhans cells, sentinel cells of the immune system, which attach easily to the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS. The foreskin also often suffers small tears during
intercourse. (full story, NY Times)
Let it be clear that circumcision is definitely not a cure for HIV/AIDS, it is argued that it can only reduce the chances of contracting the disease.

This is rather interesting folks. Stay vain, protect your self regardless.
