X-Message-Number: 8766 Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 09:51:14 -0700 From: David Brandt-Erichsen <> Subject: A CORRECTION In a previous message I made a big blunder. I stated that the Oregon law did not specifically forbid lethal injections, and did not say anything at all about lethal injections. In fact, here is what the law does say: Section 3.14: Construction of the Act Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize a physician or any other person to end a patient's life by lethal injection, mercy killing or active euthanasia. Whether a physician could prescribe a lethal medication for self-injection by a patient is pretty fuzzy at this point. Apologies for the error.
