Oregon to Allow Non-Residents to Access Physician Assisted Suicide
In a settlement filed in U.S. District Court in Portland on Monday, March 28, the Oregon Health Authority and the Oregon Medical Board agreed to stop enforcing the residency requirement and to ask the Legislature to remove it from the law.
Supporters of physician assisted suicide said they would use the settlement to press the eight other states and Washington, D.C., with medically assisted suicide laws to drop their residency requirements as well.
