Washington State to vote on physician-assisted suicide for the dying

Jul 5th, 2008 by

Supporters of a so-called “Death With Dignity” initiative turned in an estimated 320,000 signatures on July 1, 2008, to the Secretary of State’s Office, virtually guaranteeing that Initiative 1000 will be on the November ballot in Washington State, USA.
If passed, it would permit physician-assisted suicide for dying adults who are residents and meet the guidelines.
The intended law will be similar to the one in Oregon which has been operating successfully for the past ten years.
