Dignitas founder ends his own life through assisted death

Ludwig Minelli, whose work had lasting influence on Swiss law, dies just days before his 93rd birthday

The Guardian
Let me repeat, "Some people with #disabilities & mental Illness reported that they didn’t ask about #AssistedDeath but that it was proposed to them" Imagine you are in pain, in poverty, isolated & struggling. You need #help. You are offered #death. By your #doctor. Do you say yes or no? #Cripocalyse

My mother, Dr Sarah Traister Moskovitz, died on 1 September 2024 through Medical Aid in Dying (MAID). It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed. She was 97. This is the story of how she came to end her own life.

Actor Liz Carr Speaks Out Against Legalizing Assisted Death in the US

Liz Carr speaks out against the battle to legalize assisted death in the US.

Looking for a cure?

#LizCarr has stepped away from acting to advocate against the legalization of assisted suicide. Her latest #documentary, "Better Off Dead?", explores the implications of such laws, focusing on how they endanger disabled individuals.

Travelling to Canada, Carr investigates the effects of permissive assisted suicide laws. There not only the terminally ill can opt for a medically assisted death. This practice is even extended to those facing social deprivation, presenting a grave ethical dilemma.

In Britain, Carr meets with staunch opponents, including Baroness Jane Campbell, who shares a personal story of having a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ order placed on her without consent.
