Dale Gilsdorf is a 59-year-old psychologist who has lung and brain cancer.

Gilsdorf, who is divorced, says his two grown daughters support his plan to die of an overdose of black market sleeping pills.

Gilsdorf lives in Olympia, Wash., where the fight to legalize assisted suicide started in 1991. If Gilsdorf lived in Oregon, 100 miles to the south, he would not have had to go to the streets for a lethal dose of sleeping pills.
