    I think the best model is #decriminalisation of suicide

    #AssistedDying being medicalised can very quickly drift towards #eugenics

    The model should be that a person's genuine autonomy is the top priority and it should not be legally valid to take that away from them in either direction

    It shouldn't be criminal for a loved one or doctor to be supportive of a decision someone has made to die, but it should be criminal to coerce someone towards that in even subtle ways.

    #DecriminalisationOfSuicide also means that if someone is suicidal they get mental health care and not a police "welfare check" using physical force
