Supreme Court Considers Case Against Oregon Assisted Suicide Law

Oct. 5, 2005 — It had been more than seven months since Rick Miller was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer, which had spread to his bones, kidneys and brain. He had lost his voice, endured frequent headaches and pain in his legs and he was beginning to lose the ability to clearly communicate. His doctor said he had only a few weeks to live.
"Rick basically just said, 'I want to be able to control this process, and I want to be conscious and not a burden to my family at the end, and I can't face the pain and the degradation,'" said Nora Miller, his wife of 31 years.
