Name
Workshop 9 - Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia in the U.S. and Internationally
Date & Time
Thursday, July 22, 2021, 1:45 PM - 3:00 PM
Description
The worldwide movement for the legalization of assisted suicide and euthanasia uses language familiar to the independent living movement, such as “control” and “choice.” But proposals for assisted suicide laws are based on discrimination involving disability and quality of life judgments. People with disabilities deserve equal suicide prevention, not suicide assistance for feelings of “being a burden” or “loss of dignity”. Learn how disability advocates are being targeted in other countries, and are leading spokespeople against these proposals. Take away useful materials and learn strategies for identifying and addressing the issues in your state.
