Roger Foley, a Canadian man with disabilities, says he's been offered euthanasia "multiple times.". Listen to him speak out against being devalued as he fights for the support he needs to live.

My baby will never live independently. He will never be especially verbal. He’ll be plagued by crosses of suffering from neurological problems we can never hope to heal. And it is good that he is alive. I am so glad no one stopped his life. He loves, and he is loved.

"When death is marketed as dignity but life w/ chronic illness is left unsupported, the public narrative shifts. MAID begins to look like compassionate policy rather than the symptom of a healthcare system unwilling to meet the needs of women." – @t7_linda.

"The disbelief that blocks access to testing, referrals, and treatment vanishes at the threshold of assisted death, exposing a deep contradiction in how our healthcare system values, or refuses to value, women’s lives." – @t7_linda .

"We are living in an uncomfortable reality where women’s symptoms and diagnoses are routinely disbelieved when they seek medical care, yet those same illnesses are suddenly believed - and acted upon - when the patient seeks MAID." – @t7_linda .

Eugenics is so 19th century. These views promote genetic discrimination and disability exclusion. They are not progressive. Optimize ethics, not embryos.

Most kids are born by accident. And yet we stigmatize parents who plan ahead? Who screen embryos to prevent deadly, (now) preventable diseases?. If you wouldn’t screen, fine. Just be honest: you’re okay with your kid potentially suffering for life so you can feel morally.

Stop shaming parents for not paying you to genetically screen their kids. Most parents love their children more than you love eugenics.

“One day, administering a lethal injection to a patient was against the law; the next, it was as legitimate as a tonsillectomy, but often with less of a wait.” – @elainaplott in @TheAtlantic .

The country gave its citizens the right to die. Doctors are struggling to keep up with demand.

Euthanasia is so popular in Canada that people are doing death rehearsals. Look at this announcement of "pretours" at a death venue in Victoria where people can "explore the space" in which they or their loved one will be killed. No matter how common, this will never be okay.
