In 1999 he was convicted of second-degree murder following the nationally televised broadcast of a videotape showing Kevorkian injecting a lethal drug into a patient. In 2000 the New England Journal of Medicine revealed a study showing that 75 percent of the 69 Kevorkian-assisted deaths that were investigated were of victims who were not suffering from a potentially fatal disease five had no discernible disease at all. Instead it appeared that many of the suicides were the result of depression or psychiatric disorder. In 1997 Oregon was the first state to adopt a statute permitting physician-assisted suicide. Although the statute was a source of considerable controversy the . Supreme Court upheld the law in a 2006 decision. The Supreme Court in the case of Gonzales v. Oregon did not make any broad determinations with respect to the right to die. Instead the decision focused on the government s attempt to use the federal Controlled Substances Act CSA to undermine the Oregon law allowing for physician-assisted suicide. The Supreme Court held that the government could not use the CSA to prosecute physicians that provide deadly doses of medicine to terminally ill patients. In 2008 Washington became the second state to establish a law allowing for physician-assisted suicide. FURTHER READINGS Chan Samantha. 2000. Rates of Assisted Suicides Rise Sharply in Oregon.
