Man Says ALS ‘Feels Like Dying in Slow Motion,’ Pleads for Medical Aid in Dying to Avoid ‘Months of Pure Torture’

Tom Albin, diagnosed with ALS, advocates for access to medical aid in dying, which is unavailable in his home state of Minnesota
ALS progressively “robs patients of independence,” leaving Albin unable to speak, eat, or perform daily tasks without assistance
Albin hopes to spend his final days at home with family, emphasizing the need for “dignity and control” at life’s end
