Dr. William Kirtley's study of the Oregon Death With Dignity Act charts its passage through initiative petition, its setbacks, and final success in 1997 following the Supreme Court's ruling in Washington v. Glucksberg. He addresses all the core issues surrounding the right to hasten death, from federal interference to patient autonomy and medical ethics. He discusses Death With Dignity campaigns in Oregon, California, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, Hawaii, Montana, and Washington.
