FILE - In this March 25, 2015, file photo, a portrait of Brittany Maynard sits on the dais of the Senate Health Committee as lawmakers heard testimony on proposed legislation allowing doctors to prescribe life-ending medication to terminally ill patients, at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif. A California law allowing terminally ill people to end their lives was blocked following a judge's ruling that the measure was not legally approved by the Legislature. Since last week's decision, doctors have stopped issuing new prescriptions for life-ending drugs. Many issues are unclear, however, such as what could happen to the insurance claims of relatives of terminally ill patients who take drugs they legally obtained when the law was in effect.
