Oregon Suicide Law Challenged

The Bush administration has filed an appeal of a court decision that ruled Oregon doctors could not be prosecuted for prescribing lethal doses of federally controlled drugs. The Supreme Court will decide.

In related news, a lawyer for injecticidal maniac, Dr. Jack Kevorkian, says that he should be let out of prison because he's sick. Attorney Mayer Morganroth filed an application for pardon or commutation of sentence because poor Dr. Death, 76, has high blood pressure, arthritis, hernia, hepatitis C, cataracts, heart disease, adrenal insufficiency suggestive of Addison's disease, and lung disease.

Sheesh! Kevorkian's maladies read like a warning label from a bottle of pills.
