"On October 27, 1997 Oregon enacted the Death with Dignity Act which allows terminally-ill Oregonians to end their lives through the voluntary self-administration of lethal medications, expressly prescribed by a physician for that purpose." (www.oregon.gov)
ACLU stated, "A state's categorical ban on physician assistance to suicide...substantially interferes with this protected liberty interest and cannot be sustained." (Vacco v. Quill)
