Kevorkian Offers Another’s Kidneys

Dr. Jack Kevorkian offered the kidneys of a man who committed suicide with his help to be used for transplants, although it appeared doubtful the organs would be put to use. The former pathologist would not say who removed the organs or where they were being kept. The organs were removed from a 45-year-old Las Vegas man whose body was dropped off at a hospital in Pontiac the same day, Kevorkian said. No recipient had been selected, but Kevorkian said the organs would be good for transplantation until 11 p.m. today. The dead man, Joseph Tushkowski, had been a quadriplegic since being shot in the spine 21 years ago.
