An excerpt from the Public News Service Article “Medical-Aid-in-Dying Bill Reintroduced at MN Capitol” by Mike Moen, published on February 23, 2021
“Lenore Kaibel, an advocate for medical aid in dying from Minneapolis, said she wishes Minnesota law had that option when her husband, who had been suffering from ALS, died in 2019, three years after his diagnosis.
She feels the option has received an unfair characterization in public discourse.
“This is not suicide,” Kaibel contended. “This is a comfortable and dignified way to finish the inevitable with some sense of, I don’t know, humanity.”
Supporters point to growing public support, including a recent Gallup poll noting 72% of Americans endorse the idea. That’s six percentage points higher than in 1990.”
