Lawmakers Should OK Bill To Inform Patients of Options
Legislation (AB 2747) introduced by Assembly member Patty Berg (D-Eureka) "would ensure that patients get the information they need to make decisions about their" end-of-life medical care, according to an editorial. It adds, "It would be a shame to keep these improvements off the books because of symbolism inappropriately imposed on it by opponents of a right-to-die measure that isn't even before the Legislature this year."
