All:

It is really grusome - but I just thought it would be in perspective to look at the actual DEATH WARRANT. I am really reaaly saddened by this - this is one of a kind thing in the enitre world. Seriously it takes enromous courage and grit to do fill this written form in OREGON state.

Oohlala Z:

You are absolutely right. Medical marijuana as an alternative has been discussed in the media and the courts more than the issue of "Right-to-Die". They are proponents on either side - but in my opinion it is hard to debate. I would lean towards RTD for the deserving - .

And to answer your question:

>>Spitfire garu, ante federally controlled substance kaakunda any other substance aithe parvaledu anna lines lo veltunda vaalla case?

Exactly. You are spot on! . That is the crux indeed.

OTOH forgive my spelling mistakes in all previous and future posts. SInce they are lengthy I tend to choose speed and conveyance over spellings.

HM Garu:

>>Could you please elaborate?

Very very tricky to understand unless you are following the news carefully. The original case is not about Striking down the Oregeon Law. But it is widely reported in the media as tryin to oveturn the "Dignity of Death" law. Read carefull to understand.

It was originally AshcroftVSOregon and now Gozals VSOrgeon in the federal perspective. The Bush administration did not categoricaaly ask the federal appeals court to overturn the Oregon law,


Indeed, even if Bush,Gonzales & Co prevail in the case, doctors could still assist patient suicides under state law. Moreover, if doctors prescribed drugs to cause death not covered by the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), they would face no federal administrative sanction.


From my reading, this case is specifically about the following:

1)The ability of the US Govt to enforce a uniform and nationally consistent standard governing the legitimate medical use of narcotics regulated under the CSA(Controlled Substances Act) for Euthanesia.

2) Not to allow tax-payers money to be used for Euthanesia. In otherwords, the tax payers money that goes into subsidizing CSA drugs - and they should not be used to assist in killing.

Vennela garu,

This is a very sensitive issue. There is no black & white and a lot of grey area. I feel that every situation needs to be evaluated rather than simply legalizing it.

Remember the guy in hyderabad who was terminally ill and wanted to donate his organs but the courts didn't approve of ethunasia. I thought in this case (since his mother also agreed), ethunasia would have been better as his noble act would have given life to so many others.

You said:
>>is it not better to concentrate on pain management and providing sedatives?

That might open another can of worms: medical marijuana!!

But instead of aiming at this mercy killing, why can't the doctors/scientists pay more attention towards better medication or pain kilers, that would provide much longevity to the lives of the sufferers. Is it not a kind of negligence towards the suffering, that you have a simple and easy way to get rid of them.

HM Z:

I will give my view on Oregon shortly. But a couple of facts before I do that.

1)Belgium, Holland and Oregon are the three places where Euthanesia is allowed by law.

2) The case before the SUpreme COurt is different from what we are talking. The court is not tryin gto decide the veracity or legality of the "Death WIth Dignity act". It is specfifically lookinto the following : use of federally controlled substances for assisted suicide in Oregon.

yeah, agreed, that is the reason they resort to suicides and other fatal deeds.

But instead of aiming at this mercy killing, why can't the doctors/scientists pay more attention towards better medication or pain kilers, that would provide much longevity to the lives of the sufferers.

Spitfire garu, yeah 'Reservation' has always been my favorite debatable issue and still it is :-)

Coming to legality of the issue,

>>a) Inability to cover medical expenses could prompt mentally active people to choose death.

b) Potential lack of seriousness form the medical staff in not trying "every effort" to save patients as sated in the "Hippocratic oath"


considering the above two factors, I reiterate my point as to how would identifying this right bring us closer to the model death? is it not better to concentrate on pain management and providing sedatives? Also, according to their oath, the doctors should assure that no drug prescribed by him may cause death to his patient. So, how can this 'die with dignity' fit into this oath. Also, is it not a violation of federal control-substance law? How could Oregon state approve this law?

HM Z :

Thanks you. I sure will share info on topics of interest. Is "reservation" still on your favorite list - just kidding :-). Anywas read ahead.

Gochi and Durga Sodaras:

One should understand that the ongoing debate is focussed on the medical professionals and not on the people choosing to die. Medical professionals have "individual" discretion in deciding proactive decision and effort to sustain natural life are futile and a patient should be allowed to die.

Courts have rules multiple times that an mentally active but terminally ill person always "can choose to die". The debatable extension to that facility is the role of family and well-wishers in that decision when the subject is in a vegetative state( se Terry Schiavo).

The abuse should be seen from the following angles.

a) Inability to cover medical expenses could prompt mentally active people to choose death.

b) Potential lack of seriousness form the medical staff in not trying "every effort" to save patients as sated in the "Hippocratic oath"


Th Federal court might "not be" in a postion to determine what is the actual "right of paractice of medicine". One should relaize that Dr.Jack Kevorkian could not be booked untile after 130 cases. The problem is with the defintion of "assited killing"

Of the five states that went to ballot on the issue - only Oregon was able to legalize that " a doctor can assit by providing drugs and other means - but cannot personally kill the patient. In other words since the patient is mentally stable and chose to die y using is sanity and rationale he had to kill himself - in other word suicide. The medical practioner was just a vehicle.

In Kevorkians case live transmission of the act of him participating allowed Unclse Sam to close him. More later ........

HM Garu:

Ubhayakusulopari. Long time no see. I was just surfing by and saw the thread. Euthanesia and Mercy Killing are used interchangably for Euthenasia.

Some History: It has ben prevalent in som shape or form even before it was legal in the US. Dr.Death Jack Kevorkian has published research on this topic way back in 1956. Operating from Detroit Michigan he advertised i local papers as a Death COunsellor.

It is interesting to note that he used his indigenious "suicide machine" to assist ten people die and was taken to court seven times and atleast seven different judges in Michigan ruled Dr.Death could not be held and that "assisted suicide is a constitutional right."

Oregon State passed abill legalizing assisted suicide in 1994 and California termed "mentally competent, terminally ill adults have a constitutional right" to die.

Iy was not until 60 minutes aired a live assited suicide by Dr.Kevorkian in 1998 that he was formally charged and jailed - and he is still wating appeal.

I have done some reading long ago about this and some of the information could be wrong.

Having said that, assisted killing has been "ruled constitutional" many times but ONLY for the terminally ill. The "Right to Die" cannot be abused at will. The State of Oregon has measures in place to certify the "legitimate" cases from the abuse. So I am inclined to think that it is OK - if it is served as the privilege to the deserving.

In the decentralized judicial philosphy of the United States, each state has self-sufficient and non-answerable judicial and executiv power - so a federal regulation from the US Supreme COurt maynot be binding on the States in general. We could discuss exceptions at some other time.

Coming to the topic of the thread - would identifying this right bring us closer to the model death? is it not better to concentrate on pain management and providing sedatives?

You know, these demonstrators in oregon are so rigid on their views, that they give n reasons to endorse the act.

Last night they even interveiwed a guy, who is suffering with boenmarrow cancer and whose euthanasia has been scheduled in few weeks. OMG, we can see how emotinally distraught one could be when one knows that one can not survive any longer in this world. Even his girl friend supported this.

Well, the subject was all 'about' right and not the 'legal' issue.

If it were legal issues we can argue both sides.

But as an individual,one should have the right to end ones life.

Also, I don't get this law being accepted only in teh satet of Oregon and federally it is termed as illegal. Why this universally condoned act is only made legal in teh satte of Oregon. The news item stated that in the entire world, only the Netherlands made this mercy killing legal, with the assitance of authorised physicians.

So, if legally recognised, then would this right to die become an obligation to die when living would be too miserable at the cost of the patients' survivors?

I am on both sides of the debate and I see valid reasons on both ways.

Last night I was watching news headlines on CNN. There was a special news item on 'Right to die', which is being supported strongly by Oregon people. Apparently, there has been 100s of deaths reported in the state of Oregon, through this 'dignity death' process.

Is euthanasia -- the apparently generous killing of the ill really benevolent, encouraged by sympathy and respect for an individual's wishes?
or is it an act of murder and a violation of the human ethics?

What do you guys think?
