Assisted dying while cutting people off from disability support on the basis of neoliberal ‘costings’ is state-sanctioned eugenics and will be normalised & expanded to every kind of ‘undesirable’ & incurable health issue’ as well as pushed by ‘economists’ as a way to deal with an ageing population.
