1. What are the strongest policy arguments for and against a state's establishing a regulated right to "Death with Dignity" such as has been done in Oregon (referenda, 1994 and 1997), Washington State (referendum, 2008), and Montana (state court decriminalizing decision, 2010), and Vermont (legislation, 2013)?

2. Does it appear to be ethically justifiable and humane to legally permit a doctor to hasten a terminally ill patient's death by removing life support at the patient's request, but not to permit a doctor to hasten a terminally ill patient's death by prescribing a life-ending prescription requested by the patient?
