You have no idea how actually true that is.
My dad taught me to be a freak in the sheets.
Excel sheets, to be precise.
It doesn’t impact you, your viewpoint it entirely irrelevant. Nobody who is disabled will suddenly be euthanised, and the links you provided are summed up as “we want more dignity, fuck everyone else until we get ours” which i don’t respect.
As someone with lived experience of a family member who would’ve benefitted from this bill as I watched them take 3 months to die, forgetting who their own family members where, constantly being given incredibly strong painkillers, spending hours in convulsions as the tumors ate away at their brain, I can confidently say you are the one who should listen to people who this actually impacts, while they’re still able to advocate for themselves.
“this is great, I’d rather die than be disabled”
Except, the bill is about people on end of life pathways having dignity in their deaths, not anyone choosing to just end it because they don’t like their circumstances.
How society treats disabled people is terrible, I agree, but that isn’t what this bill is about
Most people I know (me included) regard this as a good thing. We treat pets better than we treat people.
There are issues with the NHS, sure - but they don’t, and shouldn’t, stop us bringing dignity and choice to people’s deaths.
Ibis is really early days. I hosted it for a bit and had things like federation issues and softlocks. Will be really interesting when it’s a bit more mature though.
Glad I wasn’t the only one who misread that!
