Whose life is it anyway? Blog posted at Speak Out California

We need your help in urging California legislators to pass AB 374,  The California Compassionate Choices Act. This act will give terminally ill patients the right to decide their own end of life choices.

The issue at stake is whether each of us, at the end of our lives, is able to choose whether to continue in hopeless suffering or use medication to ease that suffering. Although the decision belongs to each of us alone, the legal right to do so will come down to who can best rally support for or against the passage of AB 374, the legislation making such decisions lawful.

Please send a letter to your assemblymember urging his/her support of AB 374 at Speak Out California. Please send this link to your friends so they can participate as well.

We will keep you posted on the outcome.

Thank you,

Hannah-Beth Jackson and the Speak Out California team.
