加利福尼亚州参议员Catherine Blakespear计划 提议扩大州死刑法的范围 以包括那些被诊断患有痴呆症的人 California Senator Catherine Blakespear plans to propose expanding the state's right-to-die law to include those diagnosed with dementia. 目前,法律允许临终病人在六个月内预期死亡,获得死亡援助处方。 Currently, the law allows terminally ill individuals expected to die within six months to receive a prescription for aid in dying. 自2016年以来,已有6 500多人获得了此类处方。 Since 2016, over 6,500 people have been provided with such prescriptions. 拟议扩大的目的在于给予患有痴呆症的个人更多的自主权,尽管这在关心伦理和道德影响的支持者和反对者之间引发了辩论。 The proposed expansion aims to give more autonomy to individuals facing dementia, though it has sparked debate among supporters and opponents concerned about ethical and moral implications.
