Court House News reports that a California federal judge has refused to agree with a suit brought by a woman suffering from ALS. She argued that the requirement in Californian law (and elsewhere in the US) that the patient administer the lethal drug (no doctor-administered option) discriminates against the disabled – those who by reasons of their illness are unable to lift and to swallow the substance.
