Cancer patient first to use Washington's assisted suicide law

Aundrea Entrekin

Recently Washington State passed a very controversial law. A law that allows assisted suicide. Washington's first person to use this law died some time this past week. She was told a month ago that she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer, she wanted to die with a clear head and she knew she could not die naturally that way because the pain killers she was on was not letting her.


Organ also has this law, they passed it back in 1994 and to date over 400 people have used this law for help.
