When Life Hands You Lemons...

You'd better not make lemonade, at least if you live in Portland, Oregon. But after you read this story, why in the world would you want to?

In Portland, you can't buy lemonade from a little kid unless the kid ponies up $120 to the county health department. But you can ask a doctor to give you a lethal dose of medication if you have less than six months to live. Probably a good thing that request has to be patient-initiated rather than physician-initiated, because we have clear and convincing evidence that two Multnomah County health inspectors are in fact brain-dead.
