Dr Gillian Wright raises serious concerns about the impact of assisted suicide legislation on the most vulnerable in our society
Dr Gillian Wright raises serious concerns about the impact of assisted suicide legislation on the most vulnerable in our society. While no one wants to see people suffer at the end of life, she warns that laws like this risk sending a dangerous message that the lives of those who are frail, terminally ill, elderly, lonely, or struggling with mental illness are somehow less valuable.
Experience from other countries shows how quickly such laws can expand. In Canada, legislation that was first presented as tightly restricted to those who were terminally ill has since been widened to include people with chronic illness and is moving toward including those with psychiatric conditions.
These developments raise important questions about whether any system can truly safeguard those who may feel pressure, isolation, or a sense of being a burden.
The more we know, the more we say no.
