  4. End-of-life views are lopsided in support of the right to choose 'death with dignity'

    There does not seem to be any middle ground on the issue of physician-assisted suicide. In fact, going by the reactions to Friday's column on that topic, there is no support for <em>any</em> ground other than that for the right of individuals to make end-of-life decisions for themselves.

The legislature has looked at the issue at least twice, but a bill has not become law. Should it? Critics say it&rsquo;s a step away from government-sanctioned euthanasia. Those who advocate for physician-assisted suicide, however, say the Oregon law has strict controls that keep abuses at bay. What&rsquo;s your view?
