The End of Life Option Act is a California law that permits terminally ill adult patients with capacity to make medical decisions to be prescribed an aid-in-dying medication if certain conditions are met. Signed into law by Governor Brown in October 2015, the law went into effect on June 9, 2016.
Our speaker will be Rufus Browning. In the late summer of 2016, Rufus's brother Charles became one of the first Californians to make use of the End of Life Options Act to end his life. This talk will describe the context of his decision to do so, the family and institutional process that unfolded, and its impact on the family.
