    Oregon’s Death With Dignity Act:

    A: To participate, a patient must be: (1) 18 years of age or older, (2) capable of making and communicating health care decisions for him/herself, and (3) diagnosed with a terminal illness that will lead to death within six months. It is up to the attending physician to determine whether these criteria have been met.

    As of March 2022, the Oregon Health Authority is no longer enforcing the DWDA’s residency requirement.

      So, if you’re in a hell of a pain that will continue to your death 50 years later, you don’t qualify. I don’t really understand the rationale here.
