LANSING, Mich. -- Assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian will be paroled in June, state Corrections spokesman Leo Lalonde said Wednesday.

Kevorkian, who claimed to have assisted in at least 130 deaths in the 1990s, was imprisoned in 1999 for his role in the last of the deaths.

The ailing former pathologist has promised he would not assist in a suicide if he was released from prison. He is 78.

Saw a video in college of one of the assisted suicides in progress. It was rather uncomfortable watching the whole process, but I really don't have much of an opinion on its legality.

I wouldn't make such hyperbolic statements as that since he did violate the law.

EDIT: There is a difference between opinion (read the first reply to derive mine) and how it is, legally.

It seems he has less than a year to live as he is terminally ill with Hepatitis C.

The possibilities for this to end ironically are endless.

If he kills himself, it would be lol as hell.
