"Without the cooperation of the state, assisted suicide is punishable by law. Under Oregon's law, the state is assisting the assist."

Huh? Read what you just typed. If the state lets you commit a certain activity, any activity, such as lets say playing golf.. The state is assisting you in playing golf? And if you play golf to the point where it ruins your marriage because you are never home then the state would complicit in that whole chain of affairs?

Insofar as any activity is codified and regulated by the state, the government is involved.

That's an inescapable fact.
