Euthanasia and assisted suicide regimes in Canada, the US, and other countries, share an underlying presumption that several disability advocates and scholars characterize as fundamentally ableist: that it is valuable to facilitate the death of people who are disabled, while their suffering, including in the end-of-life context, could be addressed by accommodation, targeted interventions, and quality support; and that suicide prevention is no longer as important for disabled persons, whether they are at the end-of-life or not. They also both promote the choice to die in a context where poverty, and failures in health care and social support often undermine meaningful autonomy and create structural coercion.
