Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Death with Dignity Act in Oregon allows a patient with a terminal illness to request a prescription for medication to end their life in a humane and dignified manner. The patient must be a resident of Oregon, mentally competent, and have less than six months to live. The Act does not require a consultation with a psychologist or psychiatrist before the medication is prescribed. However, if the prescribing physician believes the patient may have impaired judgment or psychopathology, they may refer the patient for an evaluation by either a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist.
