This chapter analyses Oregon's Death With Dignity Act and concludes that its provisions are neither sufficiently precise nor strict to ensure effective control of physician-assisted suicide. It concludes that the the annual reports published by the Oregon Health Authority, which are often cited as evidence that the law is working well, should not be taken at face value, not only becuase they do provide a comprehensive empirical picture but also becasue they contain certain worrisome data. The chapter draws on a review of practice under the Act by Professors Foley and Hendin which is far from reassuring. The chapter also outlines relaxed laws in six other jurisdictions in the USA which permit PAS, and concludes that none of those laws is capable of ensuring effective control of the practice.
