WASHINGTON, DC – "The Supreme Court today did not uphold assisted suicide," said Austin Ruse, President of the Culture of Life Foundation. "The Supreme Court's decision today speaks narrowly to an interpretation of federal statutes, specifically whether Oregon may carve out its own exceptions to the Controlled Substances Act. The Supreme Court has never and did not today speak to the merits of assisted suicide. We believe today's ruling was wrong because federally controlled drugs should be used to heal and comfort and never to kill."
