CALIFORNIA RIGHT-TO-DIE SURVIVES FIRST COURT CHALLENGE

By Bob Walsh

In the formerly great state of California you now have the right to off yourself legally, with certain restrictions.

Riverside County Judge Daniel Ottolia declined to suspend the law, though did allow a group of physicians to continue to pursue legal actions against the new legislation. The physicians group maintains that the law lacks adequate legal safeguards.

Both sides will be back in court December 5 to continue arguments.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I’ve long favored legal assisted suicides similar to Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act.
