How to Die in Oregon

National health care organizations increasingly support medical aid in dying and reject the terms "suicide" and "assisted suicide" to describe aid in dying. These groups include the American Public Health Association, American College of Legal Medicine, American Medical Women's Association and American Medical Student Association. In addition, the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine has adopted a neutral policy on medical aid in dying. I respectfully request that the plot summary be amended to reflect the discontinued use of the word "Suicide" to describe the medical aid in dying laws. In addition, be advised that the medical aid in dying law has been passed in California and takes effect June 9, 2016.
