Families Against Involuntary Medical Euthanasia

We are a group of family activists whose loved ones lost their lives at the hands of those tasked with their care. Our mission is to stamp out the abuse of the 'end of life' protocols that led to their premature deaths. Join us and help us #StopMedicalEuthanasia #AllLivesMatter

Well said and I agree. Families are too often treated as a nuisance or a risk, rather than as people who know the person best and often notice deterioration, distress, medication effects, neglect, or coercion long before professionals admit there is a problem. When family evidence is dismissed, the person at the centre loses not only advocacy, but also memory, history, identity, culture, and love. That is not safeguarding. That is institutional power protecting itself. Real safeguarding should mean listening to families, respecting the person’s own voice, and preserving agency and relationships wherever possible, not replacing them with bureaucratic control.

The families of the #VictimsOfGosport have carried the weight of silence, delay, institutional protection for far too long. 1998–2026, they have endured inquiry after inquiry, apology after apology, yet still wait for full truth, accountability, justice in this 7+ years £M40 5th Police Investigation.

Imagine the horror!!! Canadian Man Declared “Dead” Wakes Up After Botched Euthanasia: "After having been pronounced dead, a patient woke up after a botched euthanasia attempt, leading to his doctor being placed under supervision by the province’s physicians’ regulator due to repeated failures to adhere to protocols and procedures. Dr James MacLean was the subject of two complaints relating to two cases involving Canada’s euthanasia and assisted suicide regime, known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). In one case, one of MacLean’s patients who wished to end their life resumed breathing after being declared dead due to the improper application of the fatal mix of substances. MacLean gave a 67-year-old cancer patient an anaesthetic, rather than the neuromuscular-blocking medication normally used in euthanasia cases, because he could not find where he had put it. The doctor pronounced the patient, who has not been named, dead; however, shortly after he left the patient’s home, he resumed breathing. MacLean returned to the patient’s home, gave him additional substances, including the neuromuscular-blocking medication, and shortly thereafter pronounced him dead for the second time..." Imagine the horror experienced by the patient, the family, and everyone involved. tinyurl.com/yeyn695y

EPC has filed to intervene in euthanasia for mental illness court case. Canadian man pleads guilty to aiding suicide in 14 deaths. ow.ly/cYa150Z5Lmk

My brother #CliveTreacey was a human being not a policy milestone. He died because of systemic institutional neglect, marking Anversarys without acknowledging the #TransformingCareDeaths is not only hurtful it's insulting to every life lost. #TransformingCareDeaths #CliveTreacey

Without this, I remain completely dependent on a hospital that refuses to meet even my most basic needs and continues to actively try to end my life. Please help and support him. Thank you 🙏

The exclusion of families from decision making and the dismissal of their insights and concerns is indeed systemic, and not only within mental health. It is the modus operandi of all sections of our health and social care infrastructure, and is premised on the notion that the state always 'knows best'. It entrenches a pernicious cultural mindset that sees families as a problem, an unwelcome 'interference' in the pursuit of institutional agendas, a barrier to the social engineering of human souls, and the destruction of human agency and self determination. It entrenches dependency on a state apparatus that is self-serving and more concerned about self preservation than assisting those in genuine need. Not only does this destroy individuals; it destroys the social 'glue' that binds us together families, as a society, and that directs us in shared and common purpose to improve and change our lives, our world.

This is not simply about one horrific case. The Nottingham Inquiry is exposing a national failure in mental health risk management, safeguarding, prescribing, monitoring, and accountability. What also needs proper investigation is the role of psychiatric medication, adverse drug reactions, akathisia, medication changes, withdrawal, and misinterpretation of side effects as “deterioration” or “non-compliance.” Akathisia is a recognised adverse effect of antipsychotics: severe inner restlessness, agitation, and distress. Literature has warned that it can be misdiagnosed as worsening mental illness, leading to increased doses of the very drug causing the problem. This does not excuse criminal acts. But it does raise serious questions about clinical responsibility, prescribing decisions, monitoring, family warnings being ignored, and whether inquiries are prepared to examine professional and pharmaceutical liability honestly. Families are often the first to see dangerous changes, distress, overmedication, withdrawal, or adverse reactions, yet they are too often dismissed. That pattern is not limited to Nottingham. It is systemic.

What hasn't been covered in the analysis of over 500 cases presented in the #NottinghamInquiry is the paradoxical effects of taking psychiatric drugs and/or while the patient is in withdrawal from the drugs. James Weston, counsel to the inquiry, makes note of the physical violence recorded in 80% of the cases that were analysed but he doesn't make mention of the effects of prescribed antipsychotic drugs that may have caused the physical violence. Akathisia, a well-known effect of antipsychotic drugs, is a severe inner restlessness, that can elevate the risk of violent behaviour. It is frequently misdiagnosed as an exacerbation of the underlying psychiatric disturbance which can lead to prescribers increasing the dose of the causative drug instead of treating the side effect. The condition is associated with atypical antipsychotics like Olanzapine which was prescribed to Calocane, and is also frequently reported with SSRI antidepressants. Even if Calocane refused to take the drug consistently, he could have been experiencing withdrawal. He could have been experiencing akathisia. This doesn't excuse his actions. He's guilty, but what about those purporting to be experts who allowed this to happen? There will undoubtedly be psychiatrists behind the scenes providing information to Mr Weston and to Mr Ndow-Njie but it's likely to be information that deflects away from product and prescriber liability. Psychiatrists have failed and are attempting to mitigate at every stage of these proceedings instead of looking in the mirror. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #psychiatry Huge scale of UK's mental health-related killings exposed in Nottingham Inquiry nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

The recently published Health Bill will upend healthcare in England and not just because of abolishing NHS England and creating a single patient record. What are its less headline grabbing aspects that could still have a big impact on health policy? bmj.com/content/393/bm…
