Answer 1

Gonzales v. Oregon, 546 U.S. 243 (2006), was a U.S. Supreme Court case which dominated that the lawyer General cannot enforce the federal Controlled Substances Act against physicians who prescribed drugs, in compliance with Oregon state law, to terminally sick patients seeking to finish their lives.

No , I do not think supreme court here in Gonzales case was correct because-

It did not ( Court) have any authority. States have the rights to come to a decision concerning doctor-assisted suicide. strengthened state power.

In details-


In 1994 Oregon enacted the Death with Dignity Act, the primary state law authorizing physicians to inflict fatal doses of controlled substances to terminally sick patients. lawyer General John Ashcroft declared in 2001 that assisted suicide desecrated the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA). Ashcroft vulnerable to revoke the medical licenses of physicians who took half within the observe. Oregon sued Ashcroft in administrative district court. That court and, later the Ninth Circuit, command Ashcroft''s directive illegal. The courts command that the CSA didn't authorize the lawyer general to manage assisted suicide, that was the type of medical matter traditionally entrusted to the states. Did the Controlled Substances Act authorize the lawyer general to ban the utilization of controlled substances for physician-assisted suicide in Oregon.
