In 2016, 111 Terminally Ill People Ended Their Lives Under New California Law

The End of Life Option Act went into effect in California in June 2016, and by December, 111 terminally ill people requested, and took, life-ending drugs from their doctors. The state became the fifth in the country to let those with less than six months to live choose to die with drug assistance.
