AB 2747 would authorize total sedation without nutrition and hydration for depressed and confused patients, whether or not their natural death was imminent. The bill would also allow family members to order the death of a mentally disabled person when a nurse opines they have less than a year to live.
AB 2747 would allow a doctor or a nurse to opine that a patient has "less than one year to live," and then ask depressed patients if they would like to be totally sedated into unconsciousness. Total sedation is usually an irreversible procedure that does not include nutrition and hydration. If patients or decision-making family members fall prey to suggestions of total sedation, death from dehydration will usually occur within five days.

Suspicious signs of melanoma can be summarized by the ABCDE's:
Asymmetry – Most melanomas are asymmetrical, a line through the middle would not create matching halves. Common benign moles are round and symmetrical. If it looks like a state other than Hawaii, have it looked at.
Border Irregularity – The borders of early melanomas are often irregular with scalloped or notched borders. Common benign moles have smoother, more even borders.
Color Variability – Varied shades of brown, tan or black are often the first signs of melanoma. As melanomas progress, colors of red, white or blue may appear. Common benign moles are usually a single shade of brown.
Diameter – Melanomas tend to grow a greater size than a common mole, generally at least the size of a pencil eraser (6mm diameter).
Evolution – Moles should be watched over time, and if they show evidence of growing or changing, this increases the chances that they may be developing into a melanoma.
