Friends, 

Incredible piece at the The Wall Street Journal covering our friend Liz Carr and her advocacy in opposition to assisted suicide!

While Liz was in the US with our team at our invitation back in September, we witnessed her passion for protecting vulnerable people. She screened her groundbreaking documentary, Better Off Dead?, at Capitol Hill and for the disability community in Washington, DC, which we were proud to sponsor. After her tour here in the US, she went on to Canada to share her documentary with Inclusion Canada. 

Now, the UK government will have to choose whether to put disabled people at risk and introduce an assisted suicide law, or whether they will choose to stand up, protect the vulnerable, and say "no" to these dangerous laws. 

In the article, the author states:

"Ms. Carr argues that society can’t permit euthanasia without endangering the disabled. She worries about a slippery slope—that once you allow it for some people, others will want it, and more yet will fall prey to it. As one British politician recently put it, a right to die can very quickly become a duty to die. That’s particularly acute in countries with socialized medicine, where the decision not to die, to continue medical or hospice care, is shouldered by the state."

Keep fighting, Liz! Your friends in the US are standing in solidarity with you. 

Sincerely,
