California Assembly panel approves Natural Death Act
The California Assembly health committee backed a Natural Death Act with a 7-2 vote sending the bill to the floor. Author Barry Keene defended the plan against charges it would cheapen life or move toward euthanasia. The law would let adults 18 or older sign a directive to withdraw extraordinary life-sustaining treatments if they serve only to delay death.
