They didn't. So you don't.
I'm sure these "doctors" can find another way to kill their patients. They're smart.
Get a grip paulsen. -- Doctors in Oregon are not allowed to "kill their patients".
They are allowed to assist in suicide, not murder.
Whatever. This is Oregon's issue. If the citizens of Oregon wish to allow suicide in their state, that's their decision.
Thanks for conceding the main point of the article, upheld by the USSC.
Just don't use federally controlled substances, that's all.
Back you go, - in circles. The narcotics used are the best substances available.
In this issue, feds are trying to control suicide, not 'substances'. -- And they are not empowered to control either one..
The "main point" of the article was federal objection to the misuse of controlled substances,
Weird. - The article is about "SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS OREGON'S SUICIDE LAW"
not federal objection to Oregon's suicide laws.
The AG objected, the USSC slapped them down.
Thank you for not letting me down by missing the point altogether.
Thank you for once again displaying your 'control agenda'.
Me: "Do you really believe that this is the objection of the Justice Department?"
You: "I believe this is their stated objection."
-------
That hardly answers the question. Do you believe the Feds always tell the truth?
Do *you* really believe that this is about the use of regulated substances?
The federal government didn't involve itself with other methods of suicide.
Nothing worse than being called a hypocrite, right?
They're transparent.
You see that with their posts regarding the government's discontinued IND marijuana program -- they let the test subjects continue their marijuana use and the dopers call the government a hypocrite.
No, he's not necessarily. It's a states' rights issue. Kevorkian isn't in Oregon is he?
It's hypocritical to demand the demise of Roe vs Wade due to "states' rights" on one hand and then whine because the Supreme Court upheld Oregon's right to make a similar such decision, on the other.
And you wonder why you're banned.
They're transparent.

Bump for transparent hypocrites.

Paulsen, hypocritically:
Well, looky here. His very first post under his old moniker consists of nothing more than a personal attack.
How pitiful that you consider using your own comments a 'personal attack'.
And you wonder why you're banned.
Banned no more massa - free at last!
Same old Chester.
Lots of the the old gang seems to be reinstated.. Was it a general New Years Amnesty?
Neither am I a physician, but why is the Hippocratic oath relevant? The old Hippocratic oath is rarely taken by doctors these days, and the modern version does NOT include the prohibition any more than it prohibits charging tuition for medical training. How many people are protesting the medical schools?
And heck, why stop with soldiers? Since this issue has to do with citizens of Oregon, why not say that all citizens of Oregon must be Christian? After all, their lives are God's, their free will means nothing, God wants them to be Christian, they don't own their own lives, etc.... </sarc>
God wanted us to have free will.. Man wants to take it away.
Funny how those who most strongly want to take it away are those who claim to be closest to Him. Seems like there are some verses in the Bible that warn us about such people. And I'm wondering if the continual attempt to confuse this suicide issue with mercy killings is actually intentional, and therefore a bit of intentionally bearing false witness.
It most certainly is.
Very telling.
