Minnesota lawmakers kick off debate on joining other states that permit physician-assisted suicide
The Minnesota Legislature kicked off debate Thursday on whether the state should join the list of those that allow physician-assisted suicide. The lead sponsor, Democratic Rep. Mike Freiberg, of Golden Valley, who first introduced a similar proposal in 2015, said at a news conference beforehand that he was confident it will pass at least the House this year. Years of experience in states with similar laws such as Oregon and Washington, show that they work as intended, and they are used only by a narrow group of patients with terminal illnesses, he said.
