It doesn't impact you, your viewpoint it entirely irrelevant. Nobody who is disabled will suddenly be euthanised, and the links you provided are summed up as "we want more dignity, fuck everyone else until we get ours" which i don't respect.

As someone with lived experience of a family member who would've benefitted from this bill as I watched them take 3 months to die, forgetting who their own family members where, constantly being given incredibly strong painkillers, spending hours in convulsions as the tumors ate away at their brain, I can confidently say you are the one who should listen to people who this actually impacts, while they're still able to advocate for themselves.
