The president of the leading advocacy group for Oregon’s physician-assisted suicide law blasted US Attorney General John Ashcroft Wednesday, accusing him of acting on his “personal beliefs” in the Bush Administration’s attempts to disable the law.
Barbara Coombs Lee, who heads the Portland-based Compassion in Dying Federation, said that Ashcroft is exercising a “personal vendetta” against the state by threatening to charge doctors and other healthcare professionals with felonies if they prescribe lethal doses of drugs under Oregon’s assisted dying law. Ashcroft was taking the action, she said, because of his apparent belief that assisted dying is “morally wrong.”
