California has a new law that allows terminally ill patients in certain circumstances to choose to end their own lives.

A conservative group called the American Academy of Medical Ethics has filed a lawsuit in Riverside. It's too soon to say if legal challenges will stop or delay the new law. Today, we hear from a terminally ill woman with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, who says in the coming days she plans to take a lethal dose of drugs before the disease destroys her.
