	I found this slate obit to be very profound on the subject:<br />

	This info from the Slate article shows Kevorkian's lasting influence, I think:<br />
	<br />
	"Oregon's Death With Dignity Act, for example, requires the attending physician to 1) inform the patient of "feasible alternatives, including ??? comfort care, hospice care and pain control," 2) "inform the patient that he or she has an opportunity to rescind the request at any time and in any manner, and offer the patient an opportunity to rescind at the end of the 15-day waiting period," 3) "refer the patient to a consulting physician ??? for a determination that the patient is capable and acting voluntarily," and 4) "verify, immediately prior to writing the prescription for medication ??? that the patient is making an informed decision.""<br />
	<br />
	Any Oregonians here have personal experience with this Act in practice?
