Here is an interesting post from Wesley Smith about Oregon’s assisted suicide law and doctor-shopping. http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/secondhandsmoke/2010/10/27/as-i-have-been-saying-for-more-than-10-years-oregon-assisted-suicide-leads-to-doctor-shopping/
As Smith describes the phenomenon, doctor-shopping involves “suicidal people looking for death doctors to write the lethal prescription, with that being the only reason for the consultation–as in Jack Kevorkian.” Smith’s post discusses a recent report by a British group that notes this problem in opposing assisted suicide in Britain.
