The City of Tucson has joined the “death with dignity” movement, and is asking the Arizona Legislature to craft a state law that will allow terminally ill adults to decide when and how they will die.
In a “memorial” the council members unanimously passed Tuesday night, they ask lawmakers to consider enacting a statute similar to Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act, and allow for terminally ill adults in Arizona to request for prescription medication that will end their lives in “a humane and dignified way.”
