Tell me again about the separation of church and state when it is not possible to get a legal medication from an organisation legally authorized to dispense it.
Q: Who can give a patient a prescription under the Act?
A: Patients who meet certain criteria can request a prescription for lethal medication from a licensed Oregon physician. The physician must be a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) licensed to practice medicine by the Board of Medical Examiners for the State of Oregon. The physician must also be willing to participate in the Act. Physicians are not required to provide prescriptions to patients and participation is voluntary. Additionally, some health care systems (for example, a Catholic hospital or the Veterans Administration) have prohibitions against practicing the Act that physicians must abide by as terms of their employment.

Obviously Catholics won't support it as no-one gets off on agony like they do unless it's the freakshows in Iran who hit themselves with chains. That the VA doesn't support it is nothing less than a cowardly disgrace. They deny the practice of medicine to the troops for fear of backlash from the church.
