Death Becomes Her

By CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY

LIKE BROTHER, LIKE SISTER. MARGO JANUS, SISTER OF ASSISTed-suicide crusader DR. JACK KEVORKIAN, is a regular attendee at his deadly house calls. "She's been at every one," said Geoffrey Fieger, Kevorkian's lawyer and spokesperson. But why? According to Oakland County, Michigan, prosecutors, the 66-year-old Janus, who has worked as a secretary for Chrysler, has no medical ! background and doesn't participate in the suicides in any substantive way. "She feels the way Jack feels," explains Fieger. "Her firm conviction ((is)) that human beings who are suffering have rights over their bodies." Last Thursday, Kevorkian assisted two more suicides, bringing his total to 15, and Janus was present. This time Kevorkian had a fellow physician on hand: Dr. Susan Grenz, a specialist in internal medicine from Palm Harbor, Florida, and sister of one of the suicides.
