Abstract

The article discusses the implications of the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Gonzales versus Oregon for public health policy and practice. The Court rejected efforts by U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to preempt state medical practice law permitting physician-assisted suicide. It found that nothing in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) authorized Gonzales to define what constitutes legal medical practice. It concluded that the CSA denied Gonzales the authority he claimed.
