Ohio group seeks right to die law in stalled bill
Columbus activist David B. McCalmont leads the Association for the Freedom to Die urging a right to die bill in Ohio. The proposal would let terminally ill patients avoid unnecessary life-prolonging devices and would include a living will to protect physicians from manslaughter or malpractice claims. The measure, once House-passed in 1981, faces Senate obstacles and is to be reintroduced with a new number.
