Workshop on the Physician Assisted Suicide Initiative

"I could not be more convinced that this moment and the decision taken by our citizenry on this issue is as significant as the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade in 1973. Tens of thousands of the lives of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters are at stake."
