Greetings, and ...
A note of appreciation on these posts -
While not deeply into the materials as such, but having read some including legal pleadings, it seems quite interesting that a principle supporting physician's legal right in Oregon to assist suicide by medications (abbreviated description) is also coming to the fore supporting physician's writing prescriptions to ease pain.
Some of the same lawyers arguing different sides in different cases are at the same time educating the pubic, and as physician as well as patients' rights are so very important ... these topics do seem to be fostering progress.
Thx all for notes and links,
:) LDMF.
