70% of disabled fear pressure to die if assisted suicide legalized: UK poll

70% of disabled fear pressure to die if assisted suicide legalized: UK poll | LifeSiteNews.com: A survey conducted recently of disabled people in Britain, commissioned by the disability group Scope, found that 70 percent are “concerned about pressure being placed on other disabled people to end their lives prematurely” “if there were a change in the law on assisted suicide.” More than a third were worried they would personally experience such pressure. Concerns about the dangers of legalized assisted suicide were shared equally by young people and those in older age groups.
