I'm a recent DWD supporter. Being from Connecticut, and reading your summary on where a DWD law stands in Connecticut,I thought you could use an update as your summary is out of date. The Blick case was ruled as nonjusticiable by a superior court judge and the Blick camp, fortunately, has decided NOT to appeal. In 2009 our Judiciary Committee decided 37-0 to adopt a DWD law but, for reasons unknown to me, it never got any further. Now that the Blick case is no longer being pursued, it falls back to the legislature to, hopefully, take the matter up next session.

Thank you so much for your support and update, Duane! We've been keeping an eye on Connecticut's legislature for future developments since their judiciary committee voted to box SB 1138: An Act Concerning Death with Dignity in 2009. Here's hopin' they opt to take it up again next session.
