(FILES) In this September 18, 2014 file photo, California Governor Jerry Brown speaks before signing into law AB1839, the California Film and Television Job Retention Act, in Hollywood, California.  California on October 5, 2015 became the fifth US state to allow euthanasia after the governor signed legislation allowing physicians to assist terminally ill patients end their life. Governor Jerry Brown said he had consulted members of the Catholic Church, which is opposed to the bill, as well as physicians and friends in the West Coast state before making the decision.
