I understand the anti- #assisteddying bill protesters outside Parliament are positioned near a statue of King George V, who had an #assisteddeath. If it's good enough for a king, it's good enough for me.

It’s about #AssistedSuicide and disabled people
I agree entirely that no disabled person should be cajoled into an #AssistedDeath
But I want the right to decide, if terminally ill, to have help to end my life
I don’t want to live my last few days/weeks/months in pain

Let me repeat, "Some people with #disabilities & mental Illness reported that they didn’t ask about #AssistedDeath but that it was proposed to them" Imagine you are in pain, in poverty, isolated & struggling. You need #help. You are offered #death. By your #doctor. Do you say yes or no? #Cripocalyse
"A disturbing report revealed that Canada euthanized 10,064 people in 2021 - an increase of 32.4% over 2020. Some people with #disabilities & mental Illness reported that they didn’t ask about #AssistedDeath but that it was proposed to them" #MAIDisMurder #DisabilitySky #Disability #RIPJennyferHatch
"A woman in Canada who was considering #AssistedDeath due to chemical sensitivities was able to find a new, safe home thanks to the kindness of strangers. And a veteran and #Paralympian asked the Canadian government for a #wheelchair ramp but was offered #AssistedSuicide instead" #CripCoop
#AssistedDeath / #AssistedDying poses a massive problem for informed consent. Every other medical intervention is rigorously tested to reveal its burdens and benefits. How can we test what it's like to be dead? No truly informed consen tis possible. #Ethics #HAPC #MedSky
"Those for whom existence is deemed optional cannot possibly have the same value as those for whom existence is deemed essential." -Ewan Goligher - eligibility criteria re: #assisteddeath deem that certain lives are "optional." #hapc #ethics #medsky
By declaring that it is in fact appropriate to cause the death of a particular kind of patient who meets prespecified eligibility criteria, physician-assisted death necessarily denies that it is unconditionally good for that person to exist. If the goodness of that person’s existence is only conditional, then they do not have intrinsic value. And if the goodness of some people’s existence is conditional on the desirability of their lives to them, then this is true for all of us. Hence the goodness of existence is conditional for all of us, and none of us have intrinsic value. In this way, support for physician-assisted death forces us to deny that people have intrinsic value. It remains to us only to have extrinsic value, whether to ourselves or to anyone else. And since mere extrinsic value is a lesser and conditional form of value in comparison to intrinsic value, physician-assisted death detracts from human value. It devalues people.
