ST.PAUL, MINN. – There’s a pre-legislative-session hearing Thursday afternoon at the State Capitol on a controversial bill that backers say would allow end-of-life options for terminally ill adults, what opponents call assisted suicide.
Democratic Senator Kelly Morrison says it’s only for people who have a terminal illness and have been given a prognosis of six months or less to live, and are suffering and have decided themselves that they want to have that control.
Paul Stark with Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life disagrees. He says assisted suicide lacks adequate protections against coercion and abuse, and no psychiatric evaluation is required.
