I, for one, want those brave men and women who are fighting every day against terrible illnesses and almost insurmountable odds to have a choice, even if it is the last choice many of them will ever have the opportunity to make.

We are not offering a mandate, merely an option. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this legislation.
