It would also allow nurse practitioners and physician assistants, instead of exclusively physicians, to prescribe lethal medication under Oregon\u2019s \u201cDeath With Dignity Act;\u201d and would require hospices and hospitals to publicly disclose whether they participate in assisted suicide.<\/p>\n<p>The bill went before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a public hearing on Monday, March 3, where it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ortl.org\/2025\/03\/oregon-assisted-suicide-bill-met-with-overwhelming-opposition-in-public-hearing\/\">met<\/a> with strong opposition from medical and mental professionals and advocates for the medically vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Satya Chandragiri, M.D. and Dr. Angela Plowhead, Psy.D., spoke to Oregon Right to Life about the implications of SB 1003 and their strong reasons for opposing it.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Chandragiri, a Salem-based psychiatrist, said in a phone interview February 27 that 48 hours is far too short a timeframe to assess a person\u2019s consent to assisted suicide, and that even the current 15 day waiting period is insufficient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/15XNBFf33W8?si=O4b20jFw3Z_VFZfv\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>People facing end-of-life decisions are typically very vulnerable, physically weak, and may be dealing with cognitive difficulties, Chandragiri explained. In that condition, they often change their minds and \u201clack capacity to give consent,\u201d even if they may seem to have made a choice. Moreover, he explained, elderly people frequently feel and even express that they are \u201cno use to anyone,\u201d but that doesn\u2019t mean they wish to die by assisted suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Angela Plowhead, Psy.D., a licensed psychologist who specializes in cognitive and decision-making capacity assessment and testified virtually at the public hearing on Monday, told Oregon Right to Life in a February 28 phone interview that there ought to be \u201ca pretty significant evaluation\u201d for mental health and potential mood disorders when a person expresses a desire for assisted suicide.<\/p>\n<p>She said mood disorders are common among people who are diagnosed with terminal diseases, and that ruling them out in the case of an assisted suicide request is impossible in 15 days \u2013 let alone 48 hours.\u00a0Weighing in on the bill\u2019s proposed authorization of non-physicians to consult and prescribe deadly medication, Chandragiri said physician assistants and nurse practitioners would be pushed \u201cbeyond their scope of practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And even without SB 1003\u2019s changes, the current law lacks mandatory comprehensive mental health screening \u2013 a fact Dr. Plowhead said is already problematic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/assisted-suicide-21-oregon-single-reason\/\"><em>Assisted suicide is up by 21% in Oregon, with most people citing this single reason<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to be assessing for the mood disorder pieces, you need someone who is a licensed mental health professional,\u201d she said. \u201cNot someone who may have had one course in treating depression from a medical standpoint with psychopharmaceuticals at some time in their residency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oregon\u2019s current Death With Dignity law requires a \u201ccounseling referral\u201d to an Oregon licensed psychologist or psychiatrist \u201c[i]f in the opinion of the attending [prescribing] physician or the consulting physician a patient may be suffering from a psychiatric or psychological disorder or depression causing impaired judgment\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But while Oregon physicians wrote 560 prescriptions during 2023, only three patients were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/oha\/ph\/providerpartnerresources\/evaluationresearch\/deathwithdignityact\/Documents\/year26.pdf\">referred<\/a> for psychological or psychiatric evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>In their remarks to Oregon Right to Life, Plowhead and Chandragiri said the expansion of assisted suicide could have a secondary effect of driving people away from seeking care \u2013 something elderly and medically vulnerable people are often already hesitant to do.<\/p>\n<p>Plowhead said \u201cthe idea of someone going into hospice is a scary one\u201d for many people, and that it\u2019s common to be \u201csuspicious of the drugs that are given at the end of life.\u201d If elderly people or their family members are aware that medical professionals have a \u201clicense to deal out death drugs,\u201d she said, they will be increasingly likely to forego any dealings with care providers.<\/p>\n<p>That decision \u2013 avoiding hospice care or other medical support \u2013 could \u201cprolong suffering\u201d for people enduring serious illnesses, Chandragiri said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to increasing distrust of medical providers, Plowhead said the bill\u2019s elimination of safeguards would place medically vulnerable people at risk of being \u201cunduly influenced\u201d or coerced to make life-ending choices that go against their own values and wishes. And according to Chandragiri, economically disadvantaged people would be in particular jeopardy since many are estranged from their families, taking Medicaid, and may be unable to afford a public guardian.<\/p>\n<p>The push to expand Oregon\u2019s Death With Dignity Act comes as Oregon has permitted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ortl.org\/assisted-suicide\/\">physician-assisted suicide<\/a> for nearly 30 years as of 2025. Oregon became the first state to legalize the practice with a narrowly-passed measure in 1994, which took effect in 1997 after overcoming legal challenges. In 2023, Democratic Governor Tina Kotek signed a law stripping away the residency requirement for assisted suicide, allowing Oregon physicians to prescribe lethal drugs to people from other states. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) had already stopped enforcing the residency requirement in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The rollback of the rule was followed by an immediate surge in overall prescriptions and deaths. The OHA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/OHA\/PH\/ProviderPartnerResources\/EvaluationResearch\/DeathwithDignityAct\/Pages\/index.aspx\">report<\/a> for 2023, released in March 2024, showed an almost 30% increase in physician-assisted suicide prescriptions and a 20% increase in reported deaths following ingestion of the prescribed drugs. In a press release, the government agency attributed the uptick in part to the removal of the residency requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Per the OHA report, a total of 4,274 people have been prescribed the lethal drugs since the passage of Oregon\u2019s Death with Dignity Act, leading to the deaths of at least 2,847 people. The most common diagnosis for people seeking assisted suicide in 2023 was cancer (66%), and the primary reasons cited were \u201closs of autonomy (92%), decreasing ability to participate in activities that made life enjoyable (88%), and loss of dignity (64%).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the Thursday phone interview, Chandragiri questioned why Oregon appears \u201cso fascinated with death\u201d that lawmakers would seek to make it easier for medically vulnerable people to end their lives rather than helping them find physical and emotional relief.<\/p>\n<p>For Dr. Plowhead, the \u201cthe trend toward death on demand\u201d in Oregon and the broader acceptance of physician-assisted suicide and even euthanasia in other countries, \u201cis really a sad statement on our value on life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plowhead told Oregon Right to Life she wants Oregon\u2019s medical health professionals to focus their attention on assessing and treating mental health disorders \u201cin a way that gives people hope,\u201d rather than offering death as a solution.<\/p>\n<p>Following the March 3 public hearing, the committee will determine if they will schedule SB 1003 for a work session, where they would vote on whether to advance the bill in the legislature.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was published at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ortl.org\/2025\/03\/oregon-mental-health-professionals-share-their-reasons-for-opposing-radical-assisted-suicide-bill\/\">Oregon Right to Life<\/a> and is reprinted here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/Vety0KE\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-325597\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-768x275.png 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-500x179.png 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1.png 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Oregon Right to Life) Two Oregon-based mental health professionals with extensive expertise and knowledge in helping people who require hospice and palliative care spoke to Oregon Right to Life about Senate Bill 1003, Oregon\u2019s radical new assisted suicide expansion bill.
