Abstract in brief

  • The paper examines how assisted death (EAS) impacts people with disabilities, highlighting concerns that it may serve as a substitute for proper disability support rather than a true choice.
  • It discusses how disabled lives are often undervalued in healthcare and society, raising ethical questions about the treatment and perception of disabled individuals.
  • The authors argue that current safety measures are not enough, and as laws around assisted dying become more relaxed, the risks to disabled people will likely grow.

@Etanarachel @mutabletuple That’s what the gov is saying in this case tho, which is the pattern: the desire of disabled people to die is understood as rational, whereas it wouldn’t be for an abled person, bc disability is seen as a fate worse than death https://t.co/sInSarX6Rk

Very thankful for researchers like @ProfTimSUBC who have done the work on the biases behind the current MAiD/Bill C-7 push in Canada. Wish I could do more of this myself, but so many competing priorities in a pandemic! https://t.co/06v0qllWLO
