A Democratic lawmaker has introduced a bill granting terminally ill patients the right to take their own lives with prescription life-ending drugs.
The measure by Sen. Barbara McGuire, D-Kearny, says patients with an incurable disease and six months left to live can request medication to end their lives under the care of a physician. The measure specifies patients must provide oral and written confirmation of their decision. It also makes it a felony to tamper with forge or destroy evidence relating to a patient’s decision.
The bill is similar to others Democratic former state Sen. Linda Lopez of Phoenix sponsored without success.
