THE WORLD-HERALD
State Sen. Ernie Chambers says there's "more openness" to medically assisted death. "That's not to say there is acceptance."

LINCOLN — State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha most likely will try again next year to pass legislation allowing doctors to prescribe life-ending drugs to terminally ill people.

The legislative veteran last offered an aid-in-dying measure 18 years ago, when Oregon became the first state to make the option legal.

This week California became the fifth state to legalize what opponents call “assisted suicide” and supporters term “death with dignity.”

Chambers hasn’t completely made up his mind about introducing a bill — “other issues might arise,” he said — but he is leaning toward it and researching other states’ laws.
