Although the overwhelming majority of terminally ill patients in Oregon who seek a physician's aid in dying are enrolled in hospice programs, hospices do not take a major role in this practice. An examination of fifty-five Oregon hospices reveals that both legal and moral questions prevent hospices from collaborating fully with physician-assisted death.
尽管俄勒冈州绝大多数寻求医生协助自杀的绝症患者都参加了临终关怀项目，但临终关怀在这一实践中并没有发挥主要作用。对俄勒冈州 55 家临终关怀机构的调查显示，法律和道德问题都阻止了临终关怀机构与医生协助死亡的充分合作。
