Heart-wrenching testimony today as a Minnesota Senate committee considers a highly-controversial bill that would allow patients with terminal illness to obtain medication to end their lives. Sally Settle told lawmakers her mother, who had leukemia, asked her to buy her a gun — but she talked her out of it. Settle says her mother “died of a very painful complication, and after three days of suffering in the hospital where it was the last place she wanted to die, after the doctors could not keep her comfortable, she finally passed with me at her side.” The committee continues debating the bill later this afternoon.
