La Jolla resident Faye Girsh has been advocating for right-to-die laws ever since the early 1980s, when she was working for the Southern California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union as a clinical and forensic psychologist.
At the time, the ACLU was representing Elizabeth Bouvia, a then-26-year-old woman living with quadriplegia caused by cerebral palsy. She wanted to die and tried to refuse food and drink in the hospital; aid in dying was illegal at the time.
Bouvia lost her initial case and a court order was issued allowing the hospital to forcibly feed her through a tube inserted into her nose and throat, according to the AMA Journal of Ethics, but she eventually won her appeal to reject feedings in 1986.
