huh?

Suicide is suicide regardless the WHY [...]

Okay, then...why not call it suicide, which it is!? Euthanasia involves killing another person. The Oregon law is about killing oneself (i.e., suicide!)

you argue it is not euthanaia because of the reason it is done

Please show where I did that! I argue it's not euthanasia because it doesn't match the definition of the word.

The Oregon law is about killing oneself

The law in question is about doctors providing and faciltating the death of another -as in killing The law is not about suicide although it may be called suicide. It is all about procuring death and the only difference between suicide and euthansia is who the killer is...

No, it is about allowing doctors to kill patients who (purportedly) want to die. Call it "assisted suicide" if you don't like "euthanasia"," but it ain't suicide.
