A cassette deck plays an audio tape from the woman who died Tuesday and she is asked, "How do you feel about dying?" "I’m looking forward to it." Two days before her death, an 80 year old cancer patient made this audio tape. She said she was suffering, and no longer able to do things she enjoyed, such as gardening in her back yard.
The unidentified woman says, "Somebody saying that I — to sit in a chair, waiting to die — that’s not right, because I was always able to get around and do things and now suddenly I’m in a position I can’t even walk very good and I have trouble breathing."
Tuesday evening, in the presence of family members in her home, the still unid-entified woman swallowed a lethal dose of drugs.
Barbara Coombs Lee says, "She took some medication that prevented any nausea and vomiting. She took her dose, the lethal dose of medication. She followed it with a shot of brandy and she fell asleep almost immediately."
The killing dose of barbiturates was legally prescribed by a doctor. Under Oregon’s law, first in the nation, doctors may assist a patient to kill him or herself if that patient makes it clear that’s what they want and if they have less than six months to live. The woman talked with three physicians before finding one to help her die.
Barbara Coombs Lee says, "Her original attending physician said he was not interested in participating and so she went to another attending physician. She actually went to a third attending physician because the second person, although was not opposed, he was not actually willing to meet her needs as she saw them."
Coombs did not attend the suicide. But she has been a leading advocate for Oregon’s death with dignity act, passed by voters in 1994, and overwhelmingly reaffirmed in a ballot measure last November. Oregon’s Roman Catholic church fought the law.
Archbishop John Vlazny says, "We are very fearful more people are going to feel that what we are trying to tell them it’s better to die than to burden us with your weak-ened life. That’s a great fear I personally have."
It’s been five months since Oregon’s Death with Dignity law took effect. This is the first suicide to be reported under the law. The report led to disclosure of still another, doctor-assisted death. A woman told the Portland newspaper, The Oregonian, that a family member suffering from cancer killed herself prior to Tuesday’s suicide. [br] The woman committed suicide______after the law took effect.
