The article critiques the narrative surrounding assisted dying laws, particularly how proponents focus on terminally ill individuals while neglecting the experiences of disabled people. It argues that the distinction made between terminal illness and disability is not as clear as presented, and this oversimplification neglects the lives of many who navigate such conditions. The author emphasizes that people can live fulfilling lives with terminal diagnoses, highlighting the importance of care and support over the notion that these people would prefer death to their current state. This broader understanding complicates the push for a simplistic narrative.
Proponents of the assisted dying law oversimplify the issue by focusing solely on those with terminal conditions, neglecting the complexity of disability and quality of life.
The narrative pushed by campaigners suggests that people with terminal conditions are suffering intolerably, overlooking those who live fulfilling lives with proper care and support.
