A San Francisco woman battling cancer is prepared to battle the state of California in court for what she says is her right to die on her own terms.
"I am suing the
state of California to help me achieve a peaceful and dignified death at the
place and time of my choosing," Christie White said Wednesday at a news
conference.
White has had both
leukemia or lymphoma since 2007, undergoing rounds of radiation, chemotherapy
and a bone marrow transplant. Though she's in partial remission now, White has
seen other friends with terminal illnesses suffer and would like "to have
the option of aid in dying in California," the lawsuit says.
