Suicide is NOT medical treatment!

🚨 BREAKING: We have filed lawsuits in New York and Illinois challenging assisted suicide laws.
People with disabilities deserve equal protection under the law, not a two-tiered system that treats some suicides as tragedies and others as solutions.

Our Executive Director is at the UN today, asking Canadian officials what they’ve done since UN experts concluded Canada’s Track 2 euthanasia regime violates the rights of persons with disabilities. The recommendation was clear: repeal Track 2 and come into compliance.

"Assisted suicide, where it is legalized, deprives many of a truly dignified death and deprives loved ones of the opportunity to be there for their loved one during their last days and hours."

"It’s not uncommon for people of different political persuasions to disagree with legalizing assisted suicide, but it’s more unusual for them to actively work together to stop it."
Great write-up on our friends at @2ndThoughtsCT & their work!

"They promised us guardrails, transparency, and accountability; we’re still waiting for transparency and accountability, and the longer we wait, the more guardrails are torn down."

The UK bill to establish assisted suicide has officially died in Parliament, ensuring vulnerable patients will not be coerced toward death.
UK advocates worked fervently to prevent this law from going forward, and their efforts were not in vain!

Relieved the assisted suicide bill has run out of time in the Lords
Pro campaigners are spinning scrutiny as a lack of democracy
So, is democracy:
The PM making a promise to a TV personality?
No mention of it in the manifesto?
A biased Commons committee loaded with proponents?

We are grateful for this question from @SenatorLankford about whether the HHS is involved with protecting people with disabilities from dangerous assisted suicide laws, and his mention of our lawsuits.
The response by @SecKennedy is encouraging.

If it’s easier to be approved for assisted suicide than to get help to live, something is wrong. Compassion means providing quality care and services to vulnerable patients, not giving up on people and ushering them towards death.

"Noelia Castillo Ramos’s death wasn’t an exercise of freedom but a desperate response to its erosion. A truly free society doesn’t leave citizens in a predicament where death is considered their best option."

"For them to have that option puts pressure on people with disabilities and makes us feel an obligation to die," says Daniese McMullin-Powell, one of the plaintiffs in the landmark case to end assisted suicide. Watch more:

People are always told to not worry about assisted suicide laws because only people with a "terminal illness" can access the law.
Unfortunately, the word "terminal" is manipulated like every other assisted suicide safeguard, and vulnerable people always suffer the consequences.

"If assisted dying laws are built on able-bodied people’s projections rather than disabled people’s realities, we risk giving those misperceptions the last word over life and death."

Dr. Mark Komrad was quoted in the Toronto Sun in his warning "of a spike in young people seeking medically assisted death with cases of those under 30 years old seeking MAID increasing six-fold over the last four years."

There's a common misconception that assisted suicide laws are only for elderly patients with terminal illnesses, but as we've seen in Canada and in the US, the accessibility of assisted suicide puts young people at risk of deadly harm.

"If assisted suicide is normalized for mental illness, that sends a message to people who are struggling that there is no hope."

"If we truly value life, especially the lives of the elderly, disabled, mentally ill, the socioeconomically disadvantaged, and children, we should be investing in meaningful services, not in legislation that treats killing as an answer."
