This whole issue is a no brainer. If somebody with a terminal illness would like to die and is able to make such a decision on their own, they should be able to. Physician assistance makes the process easier. Why should physicians not be allowed to help? It makes no sense that they could not.

Did you actually read the law? Or are you claiming that this is for patients with incurable terminal (I note the redundancy) illness who are of sound mind because of one sentence in the article? Though that approaches the law, let me help out http://egov.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/pas/ors.shtml What the law doesn’t say or refer to is any minimum time till the disease is terminal. One week, ten years, it doesn’t say. It also says nothing about pain and misery that I often hear bandied about. It’s a vague law that exists to make it easier for people to check themselves out and not negate insurance policies, annuities and wills.

Don’t misunderstand me. I’ve never said doctors shouldn’t be able to help out, but I do think the law is poorly written and restricting it to just doctors isn’t leaving enough options for the patient. Change the law so anyone can help someone else kick off. A whole cottage industry could be made out of this. Make an official form, sign it with witnesses (so far this is exactly the same with the doctor) then go out and buy your “do-me-in” kit.
