摘要：

In January 2006, the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S. attorney general does not have the authority to prohibit Oregon physicians from prescribing medications to assist terminally ill patients who wish to end their lives. In this article, George Annas reviews the Court's decision and discusses its implications.
