A federal judge in Portland extended a temporary restraining order at least five months to block Attorney General Ashcroft from dismantling Oregon's physician assisted death law. The decision reassures doctors that following the law will not trigger legal repercussions while arguments proceed. Oregon reports about 70 people have used the law since enactment.
