Oregon Offers Terminal Patients Doctor-Assisted Suicide Instead of Medical Care - America's Future

FOXNews.com - Oregon Offers Terminal Patients Doctor-Assisted Suicide Instead of Medical Care - America's Future:

"Since the spread of his prostate cancer, 53-year-old Randy Stroup of Dexter, Ore., has been in a fight for his life. Uninsured and unable to pay for expensive chemotherapy, he applied to Oregon's state-run health plan for help. Lane Individual Practice Association (LIPA), which administers the Oregon Health Plan in Lane County, responded to Stroup's request with a letter saying the state would not cover Stroup's pricey treatment, but would pay for the cost of physician-assisted suicide."
