Washington state debates the right to die
Supporters of a controversial right-to-die initiative in Washington state are expected to head to the State House this morning to deliver a petition bearing 225,000 signatures in support of the bill.

Guest: Reporter Austin Jenkins, who covers elections and campaigns for the Public Radio Northwest News Network.
