#assisteddying

Do I have any Dutch followers or people who keep up with Dutch news and healthcare? I’m reading about a 2 year old disabled child who was euthanized but most of the reporting is from American right wing organizations so I don’t want to share or take it at face value. It seems there’s a law that allows parents to request Assisted Death for very sick children ages 1-12 and I would like to confirm that is true and ask what the general consensus is around this? I’m obviously very concerned about the precedent and the slippery slope of euthanizing disabled children… #netherlands #dutch #assisteddying #euthanasia #disability #ableism #eugenics

#AssistedDying farce: people need to stop holding this up with what-ifs and edge cases. Maybe turn it around and ask: should any person have the right to force another person to remain alive? #ukpol

I’ve had a huge health setback following my move. My level of function is half what it was before. The hospital said they would connect me with “resources” to assist with activities of daily living. There’s a 1.5 year wait list. MAiD was offered in under a month. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to allow the government to euthanize me. But this is eugenics I’m always talking about. I need assistance to survive. Help with cooking & cleaning. The supports don’t exist unless you have a ton of money. When you try and push your body to do it yourself, you get worse. If you end up in hospital, they suggest assisted dying. Am I “free” to say no? Of course. Does it feel that way when nothing else is being offered? Not at all. I’m being denied the support to live while “offered” death. That’s coercion. It’s eugenics. The system has decided I’m not worth saving. I’m not alone in this. Disabled people urgently need allies and support in this fight. And I need some home care. #eugenics #ableism #maid #disability #poverty #chronicillness #assisteddying

This is utterly horrific. Falconer and Leadbetter provide some reasons why a person "might want to apply for an assisted death". "Poors! We're not going to make your life better, but we'll make sure you die quickly if you ask nicely." If you're still voting for, excusing, or pretending out loud that Labour are any better than Tories or Reform, then cop the fuck on. #UKPolitics #AssistedDying
