Date: October 27, 1999
Subject: Banning Physician-Assisted Suicide
Description: Passage of the bill to allow doctors to use controlled substances aggressively to alleviate pain, while barring them from using such drugs for the purpose of assisted suicide. The measure would supercede state law, effectively overturning an Oregon law that allows lethal prescriptions to be issued to the terminally ill, and preventing such laws from going into effect in other states.
Result: Bill Passed, 271-156
