In the Bush administration's view, suicide is not a ``legitimate medical purpose'' under regulations that carry out the federal Controlled Substances Act. The administration will argue before the Supreme Court, as it did unsuccessfully to the lower federal courts, that doctors who prescribe drugs for physician-assisted suicide violate the federal law and are subject to revocation of their federal prescription license.
