Not to be trite, but to be respectful, I would like to think that the current legislation would have helped Sue Rodriguez. The supposition, the speculation, that it wouldn't have helped is misplaced. We never know what would have happened. Watching the attorney general's presentation about the meaning of the term “reasonably foreseeable”, and how that means being on a trajectory, that would have put Ms. Rodriguez—who had been told she had 2 to 14 months to live—within the parameters of this bill, in my view.
