Physician-Assisted Suicide . . . ?
Nuñez to assist new suicide bill
By STEVE GEISSINGER, Los Angeles Daily News
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez said Tuesday that he will join Van Nuys Democrat Lloyd Levine in leading a legislative move this year to establish an Oregon-style, physician-assisted suicide law in California. A Senate committee narrowly rejected a similar bill by Levine and Assemblywoman Patty Berg, D-Santa Rosa, last year. But Levine and Berg said odds of passage have risen now that they have the support of Nuñez, a Los Angeles Democrat. The legislation, modeled after the nine-year-old Oregon Death With Dignity Act, would allow adults diagnosed with less than six months to live to receive life-ending drugs from a doctor and take them by themselves.
