From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My name is Dan Diaz. I am Brittany Maynard's husband.

There was an error in the language used in Brittany's page. I corrected that error on my wife's Wikipedia page, to accurately state that "Aid in Dying Medication" was the cause of death. According to the Oregon Statue the underlying cause of "Brain Tumor" is all that is required or reported. I will see if Wikipedia will change that section to accurately reflect "Brain Tumor," and remove any/all reference to the Aid in Dying Medication altogether.

Previously the term 'assisted suicide' was shown, however that is not accurate. Oregon Law States: Actions taken in accordance with ORS 127.800 to 127.897 shall not, for any purpose, constitute suicide, assisted suicide, mercy killing or homicide, under the law. [1995 c.3 s.3.14]

The entire law can be found at this site: https://public.health.oregon.gov/ProviderPartnerResources/EvaluationResearch/DeathwithDignityAct/Pages/ors.aspx

Thank you.
