Decisions about end-of-life care are deeply personal. Each terminally ill person should have the right to make their own decisions about how to spend their final days and how to face death. This right to individual autonomy when making end-of-life decisions includes the decision to seek physician-assisted aid in dying and to continue living. We supported this bill, because we believe all people should have the liberty to make personal, intimate decisions not just about how to live but also about how to die.
