DEATH WITH DIGNITY 2024 PRECINCT CAUCUS RESOLUTION

 

Whereas: we all face end-of-life decisions that become more important as we retiree and grow older;

 

Whereas: some states other than Minnesota have passed various options, considerations, and provisions for seniors in state law allowing death with dignity decisions;

 

Whereas: terminally ill people with a life expectancy of six months or less and who are mentally competent and capable of choosing end-of-life with dignity should be allowed to do so under Minnesota state law;

 

Whereas: the MN state legislature in the 2023 session discussed the issue in HF1930 and SF 1813 but took no final action on the bills;

​

 Therefore be it resolved that the Minnesota DFL conveys strong support for the end-of-life issue as outlined in HF 1930 and SF 1813.
