Respect diversity, defend life

​

The law on the right to die in France is indeed a major issue for the 

disabled people, because it could potentially reinforce eugenics drifts.

 

The bill on assisted dying, examined by the National Assembly in May 2025, aims to strictly regulate access to assisted death for people with a serious and incurable illness. However, some fear that this law may be used to justify the euthanasia of disabled people, under the pretext of "dignity" or "suffering".

​​

Elsewhere, in the world, an existing right to die shows that it is a unique solution to discriminatory situations in public policies. The objectives of public disability policies are increasingly shifting away from the concept of independent living. 

It is essential to emphasize that eugenics is a discriminatory practice and contrary to human rights, which aims to eliminate people considered "unworthy" to live. People with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to these abuses, as they are often stigmatized and considered a "burden" for society.

 

ILAAE (International League Against Ableism and  Eugenics) and other organizations defend the rights of disabled people and oppose any form of eugenics. It is crucial to strengthen safeguards to protect persons with disabilities and promote an inclusive society that respects diversity.
