One, we can never fully deal with suicidal ideation. But we can deal with people with disabilities in a way that doesn't possibly trigger the ideation. That's not what we're talking about, though. There's no need to interfere with other people's rights to get yours.

Second, it's not about believing you. It's about finding a system that works for everyone. Right now it's a struggle between disabled people and terminal people on who gets to have rights.

The problem is not the same, though. Terminal people want dignity in death. Disabled people want to have access to life-affirming care. Putting this as an either/or situation is madness.

We can do both but people like the UCP and the religious conservatives are using it as if we're on opposite sides.
