Doctor Calls for More Transparency on Assisted Suicide Legislation
As changes to California’s assisted suicide End of Life Options Act are proposed to state legislators, a physician is calling for more transparency.
“I don’t think that physicians should be in the business of trying to deliberately end life,” Dr. James Grisolia, a San Diego neurologist, told The Epoch Times. “It’s our job to keep people comfortable and try to give them a sense of empowerment.”
In 2016, the End of Life Options Act (EOLA) legislation, also known as AB 15, took effect. The bill, spearheaded by Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), gives terminally ill patients the right to assisted suicide. While it was originally meant to sunset Jan. 1, 2026, SB 380 would extend the act indefinitely.
