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. California currently has a similar bill in the legislature and it is my hope that all states will follow suit...until our leaders determine we have a constitutional right to compassion.
