As announced in December, Dr. Jack Kevorkian was paroled after promising not to assist in any more suicides. While most doctors pride themselves with saving lives, Kevorkian was more into ending lives, those of terminally ill patients.

"It's wonderful. It's one of the high points of life," Kevorkian said upon his release. The former pathologist is scheduled to appear on CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday evening and CNN's "Larry King Live" on Monday.

"It would be painful for me but I would have to refuse them," he told CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace when asked what he would do if asked by a suicide seeker in terrible pain. "Because I gave my word that I wouldn't do it again. And I won't."

Kevorkian, has served more than eight years in prison for a second-degree murder conviction he said was a mercy killing, and received the reprieve in December from a two-member Michigan Parole Board panel. Kevorkian's murder conviction was specifically in connection with his role in the 1998 death of Thomas Youk, a 52-year-old Lou Gehrig's disease patient from Michigan's Waterford Township. Hovewer, Kevorkian claims to have assisted in at least 130 deaths in the 1990s.

Kevorkian provided the videotape of Youk's assisted suicide to CBS's "60 Minutes," which aired it. He was sentenced to 10-25 years. Now 79, Kevorkian suffers from an array of ailments, including hepatitis C, diabetes and liver and heart disorders. He underwent hernia surgery in February 2005.
