Trudo Lemmens: "2023 figures of #euthanasia #MAID in Canada are out. Many things troubling, but already this: about 50% of 'track-2' (i.e. people not close to death) cite loneliness & burden on others as sources of suffering. Of course, DwD folks will still claim no social factors to MAID..."
Bar graph showing percentages of reasons for Track 1 and Track 2 MAiD with isolation and loneliness at 47.1 % for Track 2.

A short thread about The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability /1
Description of the book’s cover: The book’s title appears on two lines across the top of the cover which is a salmon tone. The names of the editor and the author of the foreword appear in white letters at the bottom of the book. The publisher’s name is printed along the right side in white letters. At the centre, a vertical white rectangle is the background for a sculpture by fibre artist Judith Scott. The sculpture combines layers of shiny yarn in various colours including orange, pink, brown, and rust woven vertically on a large cylinder and horizontally around a smaller cylinder, as well as blue yarn woven around a protruding piece at the bottom of the sculpture. The sculpture seems to represent a body and head of a being sitting down, a being with one appendage, a fat person, or a little person.
