Abstract
Death with Dignity Acts in Oregon and Washington authorize physicians to write life-ending prescriptions for their patients. This article addresses various problems with the Acts, including the wording about who may administer the lethal drug and the fact that both Acts lack a consent requirement when the lethal dose is administered. This article also addresses counter arguments offered by proponents of the Acts.
