A little more about me. My work focuses on raising awareness of the harms of family separations and #fostercare and ultimately working to abolish the #childwelfare system and all aspects of #policing and #prisons. My view is that our #socialwork values call for us to remove ourselves from these systems and work for their #abolition. If you’re a #socialworker or an #abolitionist, I hope to get to know you.

#Introduction

"Canada will soon allow medically assisted dying for mental illness... excluding MAID for people with mental illness, “suggests that, as a society, we don’t believe that people with mental disorders can really ever be capable of making their own decisions for themselves.” But this ethical argument raises another: Can a person freely choose to die if they don’t have an equal chance to live with dignity?"
