Last week the medical examiner in Oakland County, Michigan released an autopsy report of the last patient that Dr. Jack Kevorkian claims to have helped die. The medical examiner says he found no evidence of medical disease. NPR's Don Gonyea reports that today in speeches before the National Press Club in Washington DC Kevorkian's lawyer, Geoffrey Fieger disputed the examiner's report and the retired pathologist affirmed his right as a physician to relieve suffering through assisting suicide.
