Today I had a healthcare worker tell me I was “wrong” about assisted dying. That I misinterpreted it being offered to me.
When I explained that I had death offered for an acute and treatable condition in the ER, he said that was wrong.
But then he said it was just one bad apple having a “bad day”
A doctor literally offered me medically assisted death instead of healthcare. It wasn’t one option of many, it was the ONLY option.
That’s not having a bad day, that’s eugenics.
When I pushed back & asked him to consider how many disabled people have similar stories and how many advocacy groups have raised concerns?
He mansplained. He psychologized. He “warned” me. And then he said I was paranoid.
If we can’t even have a civil discussion about the risks, we obviously can’t administer the program ethically.
I’m heartbroken this came from a healthcare worker to boot.
