Earlier this year, four members of the iowa Senate Introduced a bill called the iowa death with dignity act. The bill stalled in the Senate Human Resources committee, never making it to the floor for debate. A similar bill had a similar fate in 2015. Kcrgtv9s Dubuque Bureau chief Katie Wiedemann introduces us to the woman behind this latest effort. Wishes for a long, healthy life. But a rare form of cancer is changing all that. The Life Expectancy of my cancer is 4 months to two year. I was told i have a 20 percent chance of making it to 5 years. This is my 5th year. Shes been through Clinical Trials and has been doing back to back chemo therapy for the past two years. She says her doctors say the cancer will eventually kill her. A slow and painful death she doesnt want her family to watch. I dont feel they should have to go through that and have their last memory of me in that state. I dont want them to see that. Lawmakers to pass what she calls death with dignity legislation. The group wants iowa to have a law similar oregons law. That would allow iowans who have less than 6 months to live due to terminal illness to take a doctor prescribed pill to immediately end their own life. This is not assisted suicide, assisted suicide is when a physician or someone or yourself take your own life. I am not taking my own life. My disease is taking my life. My disease is killing me. But mark schmidt from the catholic archdiocese of dubuque say suicide. It is physician assisting a suicide. Its not really compassionate, because that doctor is not entering into the suffering with the person. Its not really dignified because that person is worth more than offering them death immediately. The archdiocese says terminally ill patients should instead rely of hospice or palliative care. And while schmidt says this is a religious issue, he believes the government should be involved. It takes financial advantage by Insurance Companies and medical professionals whod rather do the suicide instead of politics shouldnt mix when it comes to the terminally ill. Its not up to lawmakers to decide what is religiously right or religiously wrong for me. I am the one with the terminal disease. I am the one who is dying, therefor i am the one who should have the choice and the decision on how i die. And as the reality of her pendi, gibbs finds herself wishing f m else. A painless, peaceful death. To be able to have my family at my bedside were i can have a peaceful saying goodbye to everyone, and slip away peacefully. Thats my wish. A wi live to see come true.
