What options for a peaceful death are available to Minnesotans suffering from a terminal illness?

One may be Medical Aid in Dying, but only if the Minnesota legislature passes the End-of-Life Options Act in the next legislative session. The law would enable a mentally competent adult with less than six months the option to request from their physician medication that would lead to a peaceful death. Another is VSED—voluntarily stopping eating and drinking—currently legal in all states.

Come learn about both at a presentation in the sanctuary Tuesday, December 5 at 1:30 p.m. with the Rev. Harlan Limpert. Rev. Limpert is a Unitarian Universalist minister and Co-founder of Minnesota Interfaith Clergy for End-of-Life Options. He also volunteers for Compassion and Choices, the largest non-profit organization in the United States whose mission is to improve care, expand options and empowering everyone to chart their end-of-life journey.
