12/22/23: Jim Shaw is a current InForum columnist, and former WDAY TV reporter and KVRR TV news director. He is sitting in for Joel Heitkamp today, and has a conversation about the Minnesota End-of-Life Options Act. This bill will allow a terminally ill, mentally capable adult with a prognosis of six months or less to live, the option to request, obtain and take medication — should they choose —  to die peacefully in their sleep if their suffering becomes unbearable. 

Jim is joined by Dr. Rebecca Thoman and Andrea Anderson to have the conversation. Dr. Thoman is program director of Doctors with Dignity, and Andrea is a strong advocate of death with dignity.
