- They decided:
- The Supreme Court upheld Oregon’s one-of-a-kind physician-assisted suicide law Tuesday, rejecting a Bush administration attempt to punish doctors who help terminally ill patients die.
- Justices, on a 6-3 vote, said that federal authority to regulate doctors does not override the 1997 Oregon law used to end the lives of more than 200 seriously ill people.
Bummer.
Yeah.. I was a little surprised by that ruling as well… ;(
Mark, that is a bummer! A sad day for Oregonians and Americans alike!
