Most of all, I would like to see an amendment put in place ensuring that discussions about medical assistance to end one's life be raised only by the person who wants to die.
I would never want a medical professional to begin the conversation about life-ending initiatives as a result of assumptions they make about what it's like to live with my disability. Otherwise I would not feel comfortable seeking certain forms of medical treatment. I want to be seen by a doctor who will care for me as a whole person, including taking my status as a disabled woman into account, and who will support me in living and thriving in the only life I have, which is as a disabled woman.
Thank you.
