Charity warns against change in right-to-die law

The current law against assisted suicide works. It sends a powerful message countering the view that if you're disabled it's not worth being alive, and that you're a burden. It's a view that is all too common. We are deeply concerned that a change in the law will lead to disabled people feeling under pressure to end their lives. Why is it that when people who are not disabled want to commit suicide, we try to talk them out of it, but when a disabled person wants to commit suicide, we focus on how we can make that possible? Many disabled people strongly oppose a change in the law."
