The UK bill to establish assisted suicide has officially died in Parliament, ensuring vulnerable patients will not be coerced toward death. UK advocates worked fervently to prevent this law from going forward, and their efforts were not in vain!

Relieved the assisted suicide bill has run out of time in the Lords Pro campaigners are spinning scrutiny as a lack of democracy So, is democracy: The PM making a promise to a TV personality? No mention of it in the manifesto? A biased Commons committee loaded with proponents?

End Assisted Suicide
End Assisted Suicide@EndAsstSuicide·
We are grateful for this question from @SenatorLankford about whether the HHS is involved with protecting people with disabilities from dangerous assisted suicide laws, and his mention of our lawsuits. The response by @SecKennedy is encouraging. youtu.be/MPJS1Y1qARQ?si…

If it’s easier to be approved for assisted suicide than to get help to live, something is wrong. Compassion means providing quality care and services to vulnerable patients, not giving up on people and ushering them towards death. deseret.com/magazine/2026/…

"Noelia Castillo Ramos’s death wasn’t an exercise of freedom but a desperate response to its erosion. A truly free society doesn’t leave citizens in a predicament where death is considered their best option." wsj.com/opinion/assist…

"For them to have that option puts pressure on people with disabilities and makes us feel an obligation to die," says Daniese McMullin-Powell, one of the plaintiffs in the landmark case to end assisted suicide. Watch more: pbs.org/newshour/show/…

Noelia, rest in peace. Kevin, it’s not only Europe but here as well - 12 states + DC have assisted suicide laws, where states are using these laws to save money: denying or delaying Medicaid coverage that would help people to live, while offering to pay for lethal drugs. BUT the story’s not over. This is an issue we can win. Join the movement and sign the petition to protect vulnerable people and abolish assisted suicide laws here: endassistedsuicide.org

No doubt, Elon, and not just in Europe. In American states where assisted suicide is legal, young women with anorexia are getting lethal drugs from the very doctors who are supposed to be helping them with their mental health, like our friend Jane Allen. That’s why we’re suing in federal court to abolish these heinous public policies in the US. If you want to be part of the solution on this issue, DM us. denverpost.com/2025/10/02/ass…

Assisted Suicide Watch@ASWatchUSA·
People are always told to not worry about assisted suicide laws because only people with a "terminal illness" can access the law. Unfortunately, the word "terminal" is manipulated like every other assisted suicide safeguard, and vulnerable people always suffer the consequences.

"If assisted dying laws are built on able-bodied people’s projections rather than disabled people’s realities, we risk giving those misperceptions the last word over life and death." Read this powerful piece by Matthew Cavedon compactmag.com/article/i-am-a…

Dr. Mark Komrad was quoted in the Toronto Sun in his warning "of a spike in young people seeking medically assisted death with cases of those under 30 years old seeking MAID increasing six-fold over the last four years." READ MORE: torontosun.com/news/national/…

There's a common misconception that assisted suicide laws are only for elderly patients with terminal illnesses, but as we've seen in Canada and in the US, the accessibility of assisted suicide puts young people at risk of deadly harm. torontosun.com/news/national/…

"If we truly value life, especially the lives of the elderly, disabled, mentally ill, the socioeconomically disadvantaged, and children, we should be investing in meaningful services, not in legislation that treats killing as an answer." bgdailynews.com/2026/02/15/pro…

At its core physician-assisted suicide (PAS) is the fear of disability. That's why PAS laws are designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to access PAS poisons instead of able bodied people. This isn't choice, it's discrimination. @NotDeadYetUSA @PRAFund @NCDgov
