>> smith: jan crawford in washington tonight. thanks. jack kevorkian devoted his life to a debate over whether or not a person can choose to die. critics called him "dr. death," but supporters of physician- assisted suicide think of him as a champion. kevorkian died today at a hospital in michigan at the age of 83 from a blood clot. news of his death started the conversation all over again. he was a retired pathologist from michigan who specialized in challenging authority. dr. jack kevorkian ignited a national debate in the 1990s over physician-assisted suicide when he helped more than 130 patients kill themselves. >> many doctors agree with me but they're intimidated in silence. i'm lucky to be in a position where i don't have to be silent. >> smith: kevorkian often used his homemade suicide machine where the patients themselves could administer a fatal drug dose at the push of a button. he said his actions were based on a simple belief that the terminally ill have a right to end their own suffering and die if they choose to. >> this i
