Proposed End of Life Bill

This article I found on the Texas Tribune talks about a proposed bill which would spell out the steps to be taken when a terminally ill patient nears death. This bill would give patients and their families more time to come to a decision and take the appropriate actions. For instance, as of now, if a patient/family disagrees with their doctor's decision, they only have 10 days to find a new doctor, but the proposed bill would give them 14 days. The new bill would also give the patient/family a one week notice before appearing before an ethics committee, versus the current 48 hours. I believe that this bill would be beneficial. The decision whether or not to end the life of a terminally ill patient is an extremely difficult one, and more time would be helpful for both the patients and their families.
