Discussion on “It’s My Decision” Initiative

The Evans School hosted Washington State Governor Booth Gardner and Duane French, founding member of Washington Not Dead Yet, for a discussion on April 26 about the “It’s My Decision” initiative, which would allow mentally competent adults in Washington state diagnosed with six months or less to live the legal choice to access and self-administer life-ending medication.

Gardner, who supports the initiative, calls this effort his “last campaign.” French, who opposes the initiative, currently works as the coordinator for Diversity and Succession Planning in the Economic Services Administration of the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.
