State Mulls Right-to-die bill

According to a recent article in the Boston Herald, Massachusetts lawmakers are currently debating over a bill that would make euthanasia an option for terminally ill patients over 18. The joint committee on the Judiciary will begin their discussions on whether or not Massachusetts should join Oregon, Washington, and Montana as the fourth state in the union to offer terminally ill patients the option of euthanasia. If this legislation were passed, it would only be possible for the patient and the patient only to decide that euthanasia is the proper course of action.
