OLYMPIA, Wash. — Voters approved Initiative 1000 on Tuesday, making Washington the second state to give terminally ill people the option of medically assisted suicide.
The ballot measure, patterned after Oregon's "Death with Dignity" law, allows a terminally ill person to be prescribed lethal medication, which would be self-administered.
With about 43 percent of the expected vote counted Tuesday in unofficial returns, I-1000 was being approved by a margin of about 58 percent to about 42 percent.
Supporters, led publicly by Democratic former Gov. Booth Gardner, said the initiative would provide a compassionate way for terminally ill people to die.

If Seattle residents participate in this activity more than the rest of the state, then I’m all for it.
I agree. It’s like abortion, if they want to continue killing their own babies, you know what, go for it.
Wash. voters approve assisted suicide initiative
It should be this:
Wash. voters suicide initiative, approved!
I would vote for that!
I believe that's another way of saying that the state will provide a compassionate way to put the old, the sick, and the depressed down like dogs.
Rats!
I was hoping this was Washington D.C.!!!!
Our state moto-
Come to Washington and die..
We can kill you just as good as Oregon.
Woo hoo!!!
I think all of America voted in Assisted Suicide this year.
Oh good...you are alive.
Unfortunately, it had been clear for several months that this was going to happen.
Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD."
Back in '71, before Roe, Washington voters legalized abortion on demand via initiative.
In '98, an initiative to ban partial birth abortion was defeated in a landslide. It even lost in conservative eastern Washington, except for one very tiny county.
The West Coast states are quite different from the heartland.
I am, as long as I stay out of Washington state that is!
(tied up with election stuff. Free for a little while now.. GOOD TO SEE YA!)
Hey newbie, Free Republic is a conservative PRO-LIFE forum, you and your ilk have succeeded in disrupting the election by nearly frying the servers last night. So, why don't you just go away now.

“It’s like abortion, if they want to continue killing their own babies, you know what, go for it.”
One difference. In an abortion, a doctor does the killing. In this case, the patient offs himself
UH hello...that’s where our orders are taking us next...so it’s just a buffet of choices in that BLUE state.
