DETROIT, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Whoopi Goldberg and
Joy Behar, longtime hosts of the chatty television program "The View,"
praised Jack Kevorkian in a recent episode.

Kevorkian, who was convicted for assisting with suicide of over 130
people and murdering a disbaled patient, made his candidacy for a
Detroit-area Congressional seat official on Monday.

Goldberg said she’s a "big fan" of Kevorkian "because he believed
that he could help people who were in a place where no one was
helping them."

"Euthanasia, like race, is one of those things nobody wants to
talk about.

It makes people very uncomfortable. I think euthanasia is, is
an important thing and it should be there for people to make that
decision if they chose to," she said.
