Disabled people are ending their own lives years too soon while they still have the physical ability to do so. If Scotland introduced assisted dying laws to allow people to die with dignity, we could enable EVERYONE to live to their full potential.https://twitter.com/dignityindying/status/1319941957947432960 …

Generalisations and statements like that make me feel really uneasy, Josh. Creating social conditions and providing full support allows a greater opportunity for everyone, inc disabled people, to enjoy life in a dignified manner.

What makes you feel uneasy Jamie? Disabled people are ending their lives years too soon to maintain an element of control over how they die. It's so tragic. If we had a system that supported everyone to maintain control over their deaths, so many people living with disabilities..

would still be alive today. There is a, "I have to do it myself while I can" mentality among so many that can't be ignored

I think his point was that people should be able to live with dignity, too.

Thats what I do in my job everyday as someone who works with people with disabilities. Empowering people in their day to day lives and protecting their rights and dignity.

sure- but there isn’t a Josh in every situation. once there is, then looking as a policy issue like this might not terrify many disabled people.

Indeed, thats why I have already reached out to you as Convener of the DMG to open up discussion and understand concerns. Happy to have a meeting with members of the DMG about this

you can email me the motion but i think any such proposals should be in consultation with DPOs. some in the DMG have said this would form part of a possible amendment if it came to conference.
