Regulating Assisted Suicide in Oregon?
The Bush administration on Tuesday appealed a federal appellate court's decision preventing it from restricting the use of federally controlled drugs in assisted suicides in Oregon. Attorney General Ashcroft ruled that the drugs used in assisted suicides in Oregon violate the Controlled Substances Act because killing a patient does not constitution a "legitimate medical purpose." The Bush administration also says doctors took an oath to heal patients, not kill them. [Lifenews, AP]
California is consider legislation similar to Oregon's.
