Opinion: ‘Stop the torture’ — A husband’s plea for change to state’s end-of-life law

My wife, Glenda, is being tortured. Right now. Today.

And we — every single one of us reading this — are complicit in her agony because our silence enables this barbarism we call “healthcare.”

California passed the End-of-Life Option Act in 2015 after years of debate following Brittany Maynard’s highly publicized fight for death with dignity. The law allows terminally ill patients with six months or less to live to request life-ending medication from their doctors.

Sounds compassionate, right?
