Assisted suicide legislation in California is in danger of dying itself, as a vote in the State Assembly Health Committee slated for Tuesday was delayed another two weeks.
The California Medical Association, capitulating to proponents of “physician-assisted suicide,” has become the first medical association in the country to eschew opposing the practice.

In our society, the act of dying is treated respectfully as a private affair. This is because it is an emotionally difficult process for the living and often a painful one for the dying. As all of us can or will attest, dealing with death is difficult and in my own case the loss of my brother to a terminal illness brought these issues home.
