PROTESTING PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED SUICIDE --- Disabled protesters demonstrate against physician-assisted suicide outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington during oral arguments in the Gonzales v. Oregon case in this October 2005 file photo. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court Jan. 17 upheld Oregon's physician-assisted suicide law, rejecting the U.S. attorney general's attempt to use federal drug control laws to stop doctors from prescribing lethal doses of medicine to people who are terminally ill.
