| | On Assisted Suicide / Film should focus on living with a disability |
| | People with disabilities, who face daily a loss of autonomy, would argue that dignity has little to with the care one needs and more to do with societal attitudes and a lack of access to enjoy life. | | | In Oregon, studies show that the biggest reason that people use the assisted-suicide law were loss of autonomy, decreased ability to enjoy life and loss of dignity, while inadequate pain control ranked low on the list. | | | A top-notch rehabilitation hospital would have physical therapists whose treatments would help alleviate the risks to bedsores that could result in amputation, while also promoting an independent life with a disability. |
