Westminster Town Hall Forum: Barbara Coombs Lee on choices at the end of life
Broadcast of the Westminster Town Hall Forum, from Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Minneapolis.
Barbara Coombs Lee is a former nurse, physician assistant and lawyer. She is president emerita/senior adviser of Compassion and Choices, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding and protecting the rights of the terminally ill.
Her new book is titled, ”Finish Strong: Putting Your Priorities First at Life’s End.” She says it’s a guide for transforming the end-of-life experience by giving readers a sense of their own authority — empowering them to ask questions, test assumptions and decide on a course of treatment that honors the character and meaning of their lives.
Tim Hart-Andersen is senior minister at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis, and the longtime moderator of the Westminster Town Hall Forum.
