I think assisted dying and being able to die with dignity are things we NEED to have - BUT…
We CANNOT have them until we grapple with fascism, with ableism, with colonialism, with white supremacy… until then it will be a harm, not a good.

As New York considers legalizing Assisted Dying, I ask people to read my thread about MAiD in Canada.
Consider who will be deemed “terminal” under fascism. Will the safeguards be enough? What happens when doctors start proactively suggesting it to people who want to live (as they did to me)?

The implications with mounting fascism are indeed disturbing.
