California could copy Canada’s assisted suicide culture of death

Published



California has looked at Canada’s state-assisted (and state-encouraged) suicide regime and decided to kick-start its own culture of death.

California’s current assisted suicide law allows for adults to choose to end their own lives so long as they are expected to die within six months from a terminal disease and they can make the decision and ingest the drugs themselves. The new proposal from state Sen. Catherine Blakespear would allow people to end their lives without any specific terminal prognosis as well as allow people with dementia and people from out of state to end it all.
