In 1994 the state of Oregon made people all over the country sit up and take notice when its citizens voted to enact the Death with Dignity Act. This year, after the Supreme Court of the United States declined to address the Act's constitutionality, citizens will again address the issue, deciding whether terminally ill patients will be able to ask their physicians to help them die.
1994年，俄勒冈州公民投票通过了《尊严死亡法案》，这引起了全国民众的关注。今年，在美国最高法院拒绝讨论该法案的合宪性之后，公民们将再次讨论这个问题，决定绝症患者是否能够请求医生协助他们死亡。
