C.
Euthanasia and PAS In The USA and The World. Where
Is It Practiced?
“Oregon,
the Netherlands and Belgium are the only jurisdictions in
the world where laws specifically permit euthanasia or
assisted suicide. Oregon permits assisted suicide. The
Netherlands and Belgium permit both euthanasia and
assisted suicide.” www.internationaltaskforce.org/faq.htm
Attempts
in Washington, California, Hawaii and other states have
failed. California’s
2005 Assembly Bill 654 the “California Compassionate
Choices Act” would have created the same kind of law
as in Oregon. It
failed again in 2006.
