Legislation Would Undermine End-of-Life Care
A bill (AB 2747) by Assembly member Patty Berg is "a vehicle for Compassion and Choices' long-term agenda: facilitating assisted suicide" and "includes many elements that would significantly undermine end-of-life care in service of this goal," Marilyn Golden, a policy analyst at the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, writes in an opinion piece. She concludes that the bill "should be opposed unless significantly amended."
