Dr. Marcia Angell, a signer of the petition to get Question 2 on the ballot said, “This will be a big, big advance in compassionate medicine, I think, and then probably there will be dominoes around the country….A state-based coalition called Dignity 2012 is backing Question 2 and national groups such as Compassion & Choices and the Death with Dignity National Center are lending support as well. Those two groups have a history of partnering with state-based activists in supporting physician-assisted suicide laws, and have been working in Massachusetts for a number of years.
