The headline is misleading. The Legislature is not contemplating their own suicide. They actually want other people killed.

Open season on the the poor, the weak, the defenseless. Go examine the history of this sort of law in the Netherlands; there the "doctors" can and will kill without permission of the victim depending on their whim or notion of who should live or die.

Wow, but is it covered by your health insurance.

Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't ruled out signing it

OK, let's see the Catholic Church's leaders take a stand on 'good Catholic' Arnold. Hell will freeze over first...

Another reason to leave California.

DAYEM, are the Rodents in the legislature so ignorant of what's happening in Eurpoe? The slippery slope is very evident there, and now they want to step on it in California. Astonishing.

[Old Professer]

Heck, if I had known they were in that big a hurry I'd been out there already with a big old hose and my old 1948 Hupmobile idling outside the chamber door.

They actually call this the "California Compassionate Choices Act." That's like calling 9/11 "The Righteous Airborne Building Demolition."

Democrats are slick, ain't they?

First they tax the hell out of you your whole life in order to lull you into the lie that you'll be well-taken care of when you get old and infirm.

Now they're about to pass a bill to make sure you can't even take advantage of your tax money then. They'll make it as easy as possible for your friends, family or the state to kill you.

That way they can keep huge amounts of money for their pet projects.

Paul Krekorian of Burbank and Mike Feuer of Los Angeles -- challenged Schwarzenegger's wish that voters decide the issue. The governor and lawmakers are elected to make these kinds of decisions for the people, they said

The lawmakers won't address any "real" issues in this state, but they will make a law like this, and a never ending list of Nanny laws...*$&#@...

Tom McDonald, a 77-year-old Oroville man fighting cancer, choked up when he told lawmakers he would shoot himself if the bill fails.

Just do it Mac, don't make a murderer out of some Doctor. They kill enough people by mistake as it is. Our Little Patty Berg, the shriveled up Prune in the Assembly, is the instigator of this travesty. Her bill didn't make it out of committee last year...
