Content warning: Su***de.

October is Depression Awareness Month. We want to share a report published by the National Council on Disability in 2019 titled The Danger of Assisted Su***de Laws. One section discusses how depression is often present among people with disabilities who request assisted su***de, but is not reliably screened for or treated before a lethal prescription is written. As a result, people with disabilities experiencing depression may be at risk of harm where assisted su***de is legal.

The report further emphasizes that the lives of people with disabilities are frequently viewed as valueless by others, including members of the medical profession. People with disabilities may also face harassment and coercion to end their lives when confronted with life-threatening conditions, even if
the conditions are imminently treatable. The report identifies these practices as a form of disability discrimination, which the National Council on Disability's position statement on prejudice by health care professionals describes as contrary to the core values of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
