California is closer to allowing doctor assisted suicide.

Dear lord people relax. Nothing Partisan in what I said. The question was simply put "Oregon doesn't have much trouble with anything progressive or liberal does it?"
This is the state that has amazing bike lanes and Portlandia, no?
I also see where my comments were a little obtuse. Sorry. Didn't come off right and I get why it is important. I don't understood why it's illegal to do this.

Sorry for misunderstanding! It's really not a liberal issue- like I said, one of the witnesses at the commission meeting was a Republican and also one of the Assembly members who showed support is a conservative Republican. In any case, I'm glad you apparently support the issue.tempo_n_groove said:Dear lord people relax. Nothing Partisan in what I said.

Now bike lanes- creating those is a leftist socialist commie pinko anti-industrial idea. Only radical left wing nut cases would support something so archaic!

On topic, how many states list euthanizing as illegal? Is that the right word even?0 -

Bummer about none of few bike lanes in NY. I don't know how those bike couriers survive in that town, great place though it is.tempo_n_groove said:

Yes, "euthanizing" is correct. It is illegal in 46 states (soon to be 45, I hope). Here's the breakdown:

The End of Life Option Act was approved by the CA Assembly yesterday. Now it goes back to the CA Senate where it is very likely to be approved and then needs to either be signed by Governor Brown or have him just ignore it which is basically the same as him signing it (weird how that works)."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

That's wonderful. Fingers crossed that there are no hitches. I consider this a true humanitarian breakthrough, wherever it is happening.brianlux said:The End of Life Option Act was approved by the CA Assembly yesterday.

Thanks for the support! Not sure when this will be finalized but it looks likely to go through.PJ_Soul said:

is it true the governor has not weighed in on the issue? if they veto it, are there enough votes to override it?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

That is an issue that will come up soon, gimme. Once the bill goes through the Senate again this one last time (very likely to pass since it did the first time the Senate voted on it) it will be up to Governor Brown to do one of three things:gimmesometruth27 said:is it true the governor has not weighed in on the issue? if they veto it, are there enough votes to override it?
1) Basically ignore it. If he does nothing, it will go through as though he gave it approval.
2) Approve and sign the bill.
3) Veto the bill.
There is some concern that Brown could veto the bill because he is Roman Catholic/ Jesuit and if he gets enough pressure from various religious groups of those types he could conceivably veto the bill. The impression I've been getting is that he will probably just let it slide by."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

Interesting to hear this opinion from someone who espouses devoutly Christian views in other threads. I was sure you'd support the church teaching that suicide is a sin...JUST A GIRL said:If someone wants to die, let them die. It's their life to do with as they choose

Incidentally, I fully agree with the view you express, for once0 -
Friday, Sept.25th we will know for sure. Time to get busy and write to the governor and ask him to sign it."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I'm not a big supporter of Brown but must give credit where due. I was really impressed by this:
"In the end, I was left to reflect on what I would want in the face of my own death," the governor wrote in a signing statement that accompanied his signature on the legislation. "I do not know what I would do if I were dying in prolonged and excruciating pain. I am certain, however, that it would be a comfort to be able to consider the options afforded by this bill.
He added he wouldn't deny that right to others.
Imagine that.
Good for him.
