And I don’t mean in weight loss. This past week our Governor has been very busy. First, he vetoed SB 1565 and then he passed AB 2747.
SB 1565 would have guaranteed that cures developed out of the $3 billion in tax payer funding for prop. 71 (embryonic/cloning research) would have been available to poor, uninsured citizens of CA.
AB 2747 opens the door for more legislation for assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
Wesley J. Smith, our CBC Special Consultant has a great piece in today’s SF Chronicle on SB 1565 here.
