Doctor Calls for More Transparency on Assisted Suicide Legislation
As changes to California’s assisted suicide End of Life Options Act are proposed to state legislators, a physician is calling for more transparency.
“I don’t think that physicians should be in the business of trying to deliberately end life,” Dr. James Grisolia, a San Diego neurologist, told The Epoch Times. “It’s our job to keep people comfortable and try to give them a sense of empowerment.”
In 2016, the End of Life Options Act (EOLA) legislation, also known as AB 15, took effect. The bill, spearheaded by Sen. Susan Talamantes Eggman (D-Stockton), gives terminally ill patients the right to assisted suicide. While it was originally meant to sunset Jan. 1, 2026, SB 380 would extend the act indefinitely.

My mother died of terminal cancer that spread throughout her body. Her prolonged dying was agonizing and excruciating for her and our family. Although this horrific experience happened years ago, the painful memory of her suffering still lingers every single day.
That is why I reach out to legislators across the country to seek their support in expanding and improving end-of-life care options.
