Activists Ask MPs to Sign Charter to Limit Assisted Suicides

Disabled and patients suffering from terminal sickness should be entitled to the same lawful protection as everyone else with regard to putting an end to their lives, according to a campaign by disability rights campaigners dubbed Not Dead Yet UK Resistance.

The campaign has requested MPs to sign a contract supporting its endeavor of restraining the right to death, especially not making any reforms to present rule that considers it unlawful to help a disabled or terminally sick individual to take their lives.

Baroness Campbell of Surbiton of Not Dead Yet UK said that there have been two endeavors to weaken aided dying ruling in the last four years, with further arguments occurring in the Scottish Parliament now. They will witness a serious situation if demand for assisted suicide to be legalized is renewed, whilst essential services are being removed or refused.

Maintaining that people suffering from disabilities, require aid to survive not to die, Campbell went on to say, "We cannot allow others to speak for us, especially those who seek to offer us the choice of a premature death: it is not a choice, it is to abandon us".

However, Sarah Wootton, Chief Executive of Dignity in Dying, said that it desired a "transparent and safeguarded" aided dying law that pertained to disabled people who were incurably ill and mentally capable, but who wished to put an end to their agony.
