Oregon Death With Dignity Act Appeals Ruling
A federal judge ruled the Justice Department lacks authority to overturn Oregon’s physician assisted death law. Judge Robert Jones criticized Attorney General Ashcroft for attempting to stifle a state moral and legal debate. The ruling notes Oregon voters approved the measure in 1994 and again later, with terminally ill patients able to request lethal drugs after two doctors’ confirmation.
