This isn't for the mentally ill. It's specifically limited to the terminally ill, people like my father. When cancer reached his stomach and eroded his ability to eat it slowly transformed him from a rock of a man to a shriveled husk akin to a WW2 concentration camp victim. His end of life was an agony that drugs and palliative care increasingly couldn't cope with.
So this bill is very important to me and my family. People deserve choices when facing that fate. I want that choice!
