"Two Portland-area nurses gave [cancer patient Wendy Melcher] massive amounts of drugs intended to cause her death. The drugs were administered in what the nurses would later call an assisted-suicide plan directed by Melcher. The nurses have admitted to the Oregon State Board of Nursing that they administered doses of morphine and phenobarbital without informing Melcher's physician. Oregon's Death With Dignity Act--the only such law in the nation--allows assisted suicide but only with the assistance of a physician." To read more about this story visit:
