  3. Should state have a right-to-die law?

    A “right-to-die” bill may again surface in the legislature next year. Physician-assisted suicide is legal in Oregon and Washington state, but illegal here. The legislature has looked at the issue at least twice, but a bill has not become law. Should it? Critics say it’s a step away from government-sanctioned euthanasia. Those who advocate for physician-assisted suicide, however, say the Oregon law has strict controls that keep abuses at bay. What’s your view?

But about one thing, Kegg is clear: When she can no longer feed herself or go to the bathroom without assistance, she will take steps to end her life. A rare and incurable neurological disease is gradually stealing the things the 60-year-old Santa Barbara-area resident lives for, and she wishes a California physician could legally prescribe life-ending medication, as doctors can in Oregon, Washington and Montana.
