I don’t feel good about this. I used to be heavily in favour of assisted dying rights, but I fear that disabled people who have been failed by the system will end up going down this path. I’ve seen examples of it happen in Canada. I have very little trust in the UK’s health and social care system at the moment, because as a country, we don’t seem to care about actually supporting people.
