X-Message-Number: 7010 Date: Tue, 01 Oct 1996 11:36:16 -0700 From: David Brandt-Erichsen <> Subject: Supreme Court to decide physician-assisted suicide The United States Supreme Court announced today that it would hear the appeals against the decisions of the 9th and 2nd Circuit Courts of Appeal that states could not prohibit physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill, competent, adult patients. This means that the practice will remain illegal within those Circuit states until a decision is reached, possibly next summer. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=7010
