That said, the Washington State law makes a lot of sense. The law only serves people with a terminal diagnosis. There was probably some concern that the law would be expanded to include folks without terminal disease or that doctors and/or insurance companies would pressure folks into selecting life-ending treatment, but that simply hasn't happened. Some are going to object on religious grounds. In states like mine, those folks are going to be in the majority for quite some time.
