Montana. Under a Big Sky Montana’s Supreme Court ruled on the last day of 2009: end-of-life choice is a matter of personal liberty and solely between patient and doctor. Compassion & Choices’ legal team won this landmark case, perhaps paving the way for similar rulings in other states. A repeal effort in next year’s legislature threatens to overturn or restrict this important new right. Compassion & Choices launched a vigorous and comprehensive grassroots campaign to inform and organize patient advocates, medical professionals and other Montana citizens. Steve Johnson of Helena shared his cancer diagnosis and his desire to have a choice in his dying, on television, radio and in newspapers. Experts from Oregon and Washington traveled across Montana speaking with hospice workers, physicians and interested citizens, and answering their questions about aid in dying. Roberta King, whose father brought the landmark court case, appeared around the state asking Montanans to help preserve the right her father fought to secure. Compassion & Choices prepared to protect the court’s ruling from lawmakers seeking to repeal or restrict it. In February we pledged to raise an army of volunteers to write letters to ,"/%/1#,-7?%+1<-*+,/%+,%*-22'.#,;%2//,#.3$%+.1%#.E'/.*/%)/3#$)+,-7$5%F/%7/+*"/1%-'7%3-+)% by May; by August, we had tripled it.

Compassion & Choices championed this law through the legislature and the governor’s signing two years ago. But we did not rest at that. Education serves our advocacy too, so this year Compassion & Choices took the lead to spread information about the Right to Know Act. We distributed 10,000 patient brochures, held over 100 community and provider information meetings and, with other end-of-life organizations, educated Californians about their right to information. We developed a plan to coordinate and maximize the efforts of state agencies, professional associations, and national, state and local organizations. Recent research demonstrates terminally ill patients who discuss end-of-life care with their physicians are more likely to receive hospice care and less likely to die in a hospital intensive *+7/%'.#,5%Q,'1;%+4,/7%$,'1;%*-.072$%,"/$/%*-.

The American Public Health Association promoted the new law in its recent newsletter: The goals of the legislation are to ensure quality clinical practice in endoflife and palliative care and to empower patients who are dying.

Their articles appeared this year in scholarly journals, including Oncology Issues, the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, and the Idaho Law Journal. Ongoing independent research of Oregon’s practice demonstrates positive results. This year the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management reported on family members of Oregonians who requested aid in dying. It concluded, “In summary, pursuit of aid in dying does not have negative effects on surviving family members and may be associated with greater preparation and acceptance of death.” USA Today editorialized that more states should “follow Oregon’s lead and enable the terminally ill who wish to die with dignity to have the ability to do so.” The accumulated knowledge of Oregon medical and public health professionals is an invaluable resource to other states and nations seeking to expand end-of-life choice for their citizens.
