Dying in prison, Jack Kevorkian chooses life over euthanasia and says he regrets killing people:

Jack Kevorkian may not live to see his first chance at parole next June because of a litany of illnesses that keep him mostly bedridden.

But the 78-year-old former crusader for assisted suicide doesn’t see himself as a candidate for the treatment he doled out to dozens of people before he was jailed for second-degree murder in 1999. …

He said while he still believes in assisted suicide where it’s legal, he regrets flouting the law and says he should have worked toward legalization of assisted suicide. And, he said if he lives to see his freedom, he will no longer assist suicides.
