Last night Gov. Schwarzenegger signed AB 2747 into law. This law requires physicians to give patients with treatable illnesses information on suicide, including financial information. There are no guidelines on what or how this information should be given. This law will put financial pressure on poor patients suffering from treatable diseases to commit suicide.
