Check this out: this is the assisted-suicide thing:

"The Attorney General of the United States has directed that the use of a controlled substance for the purpose of assisting a person to commit suicide is not a “legitimate medical purpose” within the meaning of the Drug Enforcement Agency regulation 21 C.F.R. § 1306.04 and that such use would subject a person to the criminal penalties of 21 U.S.C. § 821 as well as to the revocation of that person's registration, authorizing the dispensation of controlled substances. The Attorney General has further determined that a person's compliance with the provisions of the Oregon “Death with Dignity Act” shall not constitute a defense to the prohibitions and penalties in his order. "

So, not only are they going to keep the poor schmuck from killing himself, they're actually going to take away the rest of his medication too.
