"The fact that Oregon's law has survived the court challenge does not make physician-assisted suicide good public policy."

The Oregon suicide law was instituted by a referendum vote of Oregonians, then it survived another referendum vote challenging it a couple of years later.

It's sad to see people dragging down the noble profession of medicine like this.

Yes, it is. Good thing many physicians are more compassionate that government attorneys/bureaucrats and even without the law are able to help some of the people in need. However, they shouldn't have to work under constant threat.
