The assisted dying lobby is trying to bring back Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying Bill again. Disabled people’s lives will be threatened if it becomes law. Tell your MP to help stop this dangerous bill from returning. Click here to email your MP now: action.notdeadyetuk.org

As long as it is quicker to get a state-approved death than it is to get a wheelchair, to get benefits, or to get care, that is a terrifying situation to put people in. ndyuk.blogspot.com/2024/11/can-we…

We should never even consider passing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill when #PalliativeCare is so underfunded #AssistUsToLive

We are #NotDeadYet! Today as Parliament debated our futures, life and death, we were in the Square. Loud and proud of our histories and stories as #DisabledPeople, allies and carers. #KillTheBill and ask your MP to vote NO on Friday 20th June! #AssistUsToLive

👋Hi to new followers. It seems worth reintroducing ourselves. We're Not Dead Yet UK. We're a secular group made up of disabled people who oppose assisted suicide on disability rights grounds. You can find out more about what we believe, and why, here:

"It cannot be overstated what a profound shift in our culture assisted suicide will herald. In my view, the greatest risk of all is the pressure the elderly, vulnerable, sick or disabled may place upon themselves."

It's a pretty damning indictment when a disabled person can't participate in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill committee because of a lack of very, very reasonable accommodations

I apologised to the members of the Assisted Dying Bill committee tonight as I had to leave early. I didn’t want to but had to because my hearing aids need to recharge after 15 hours use and without them I cannot hear or take part in the committee. Hearing isn’t a choice for me.

Members of Parliament are voting on Friday about whether to legalise assisted suicide. As disabled people, the reason we want to defeat this bill is not a matter of principle, or so that we win the argument. We are fighting for our lives. ndyuk.blogspot.com/2024/11/can-we…

"How can we allow a society that views disability so negatively, and fails to make basic provisions, any potential control in the ending of disabled lives?"

Remember that you are worth decent, funded palliative care. You are worth accessible and respectful social care. You are worth the healthcare you need. You are worth benefits that allow you to live. You are worth decent pain relief. ndyuk.blogspot.com/2024/11/opposi…

"I was 11 when a stranger first told me that they’d rather be dead than like me. It’s happened periodically since and to almost all visibly disabled people I know. Sometimes even doctors express this view"
