Dr. Ignacio Castuera, a Mexican-American civil and human rights leader, has joined the board of directors for Compassion & Choices. According to a release from the Group, Rev. Castuera already has been interviewed by the Hispanic network TV Azteca about the recent launch of Compassion & Choices' California campaign to allow death with dignity for terminally ill, mentally competent adults in The Golden State. The story will air in a few weeks. Born and raised in Puebla, Mexico, Rev. Castuera has been a pastor in Mexico, Hawaii and California. Currently, he is the Director of the Latin America Project of the Center for Process Studies at the Claremont School of Theology. "Ignacio's expertise on advocacy and theology make him a uniquely suited candidate to help advise Compassion & Choices about how to take the end-of-life choice movement to the next level," said Coombs Lee, an attorney who was an ER and ICU nurse for 25 years. "He also will be an especially valuable asset to help us advance our campaign to allow death with dignity in California."
