In 1994 Oregon became the first state in the U.S. to legalize physician-assisted suicide. Since the passage of Oregon's "Death with Dignity Act", more than 500 Oregonians have ended their life by taking a lethal dose of medication. 'How to Die in Oregon' tells the complex stories of terminally ill Oregonians, their families, doctors and friends, as they decide whether and when to end their life by lethal overdose.
