“…Moreover, assisted deaths pursuant to the DWDA are not considered suicide, 109 and are considered to be merely one of many end-of-life options available to Oregon citizens. 110 While some could still argue that any participation in assisted death undermines the integrity of the medical profession, support for this contention is undermined by the participation of physicians in capital punishment: although the AMA officially opposes physician involvement in executions, executions still occur in the United States and physicians continue to participate by involving themselves in the administration of lethal substances. 111 But in contrast to the terminally ill in Oregon and Switzerland, physician-hastened death as a result of execution is often contrary to the prisoner's wishes.…”

Death, like many social problems, has become medicalized. In response to this medicalization, physician-assisted suicide (PAS) has emerged as one alternative among many at the end of life. And although the practice is currently legal in the states of Oregon and Washington, opponents still argue that PAS is unethical, is inconsistent with a physician's role, and cannot be effectively regulated. In comparison, Switzerland, like Oregon, permits PAS, but unlike Oregon, non-physicians and private organizations play a significant role in assisted death. Could the Swiss model be the answer? The following essay explores the Swiss model of assisted suicide for its potential to enhance the regulation of PAS, reduce physician involvement, and perhaps demedicalize the way we die.
