Publisher's Summary
Five years ago Oregon voters passed into law the Death with Dignity Act, legalizing physician-assisted suicide. Last Fall Attorney General John Ashcroft challenged the law using the Controlled Substances Act. A federal judge blocked enforcement of Ashcroft's order, and is expected to rule on it sometime this month. Fresh Air host Terry Gross talks with two doctors who work with the terminally ill: Oncologist Peter Rasmussen of Salem, Oregon who has prescribed lethal doses of medication for dying patients and Dr. Paul Stull, a Palliative Care Consultant, of Astoria, Oregon who opposes physician-assisted suicide. In the last part of the show, Terry Gross talks with a retired Oregon physician who has prostate cancer. He has a lethal dose of drugs on hand to use if he chooses to. He wants to remain anonymous.
