California Assisted Suicide Legalization Bill Euthanized
The attempt to legalize assisted suicide in California is dead for this year. After much hype and media attention, proselytizing visits from the nation's most visible leaders in the pro euthanasia movement, the bill went nowhere. For this year, it is dead. Next year is an election year and these bills are never pushed seriously in election years. So, for now, the "all clear" signal can be sent. But only for now. Preventing the legalization of assisted suicide requires constant vigilance.

Hi Wesley,
Thank you for your reply a few days ago. A friend who is a nurse told me subsequently that her nurse friends who work with Hospice also have many good stories of compassionate and ethical care with Hospice.
A challenge that we have is to support this work and to point out to the public that this is what patients really need and want instead of euthanasia.
All the best, Fr. Juan
