Breaking News: Supreme Court upholds euthanasia

Hi all — just thought I'd return to the boards with something sure to get BP members' blood pumping.


From BBC News:

The US Supreme Court has upheld a law allowing doctors in the state of Oregon to help terminally ill patients die. It rejected an effort by the Bush administration to strike down the law, the only one of its kind in the US. Justices voted 6-3 to uphold Oregon's 1997 Death with Dignity act, under which doctors are thought to have helped about 200 people to die.
New Chief Justice John Roberts was in the minority in the Court's first major case on ethics since he joined it.
