!["Assisted dying is a class issue… As long as we live in a world where certain groups of people are devalued […] it will never be safe to legalise assisted suicide, because no safeguard can protect against the abuse that will happen."
Assisted dying can never be guaranteed as a truly voluntary act of suicide in any State which first neglects assisting people to live. For many it will be coercive euthanasia, an expansion of quotidian violence targeting vulnerable bodies. Manufacturing the deaths of minorities labelled ‘economically inactive’ or a ‘burden’ is not about their freedom of choice, but the State’s freedom to practice social murder and eugenics.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m67rcigxtdjyfit6rldj6ecn/bafkreihufkykxr6grnllvakzsducohsiuqbg2wcxz4msjs3h2pxx4al4j4)
