May 8, Forum on Initiative 1000 (Death with Dignity)

Come out to the GSC and get educated on what is sure to be one of the most controversial issues on the November ballot. On May 8, from 6:30-830pm, the GSC will host a forum on Initiative 1000, commonly referred to as the Death with Dignity or Assisted Suicide Act. Similar to the law in Oregon, if this initiative passes, it will allow physicians to give terminally ill patients access to life-ending medicines.

A representative from the Coalition Against Assisted Suicide and from Yes! On I-1000, Washington Death with Dignity, will present both sides of this initiative and allow for question and answer time with the audience. Moderator Lori Gradinger, will be on hand to serve as an objective observer, engage interaction, and ensure that the issue is presented in a clear and informative way.

There is no cost for this event and the GSC does not endorse either side of the issue. Please join us for this important conversation and don’t forget to vote in November!
