As California debated allowing euthanasia for terminally ill patients, no one wanted to admit was mercy killings were already happening in hospitals all over the state.

An AIDS patient ravaged by the disease explains how he hoards extra pain medication so, when the time comes, he can die on his own terms. This is a story of agonizing decisions, complicated by vague rules and lethal consequences.
