The law is NOT well written.  In that case do NOT allow it to pass.  Forget 6 months to live, more like a Dr's decision should be  when the person has only 6 days to live.  The person would have to be already accepted in a hospice program, in excruciating agony without pain meds,  already prescribed serious pain meds & ending the person's life is only like upping their morphine drip already in place.  If someone really needs to commit suicide  6 months (which is ONLY a guess) in advance, medically assisted suicide should NOT be an option, however no one can stop them if they really want to end their life by jumping off a bridge or cliff.  Not advocating suicide but that early on before the body actually would die on its own, don't make it easy.  Robin Williams committed suicide & it was clear it was a conscious decision on his part in which he slashed his own wrists & overdosed on his medications.    If Hawaii residents are so hell bent on committing Dr assisted suicide, fly to Oregon.
