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

Surprising fact: Vermont had a eugenics program that was sterilizing French-Canadians against their will in the 1960s!!

Dartmouth College: New Website Investigates Eugenics in 20th-Century U.S.. “An innovative new website, Eugenic States: A Contextual Archive, uses digital storytelling to preserve and illuminate a disturbing and largely unknown chapter in U.S. history. During the 20th century, more than 60,000 people in the United States were sterilized based on state eugenics laws.”

...the famous techno-fascist Peter Thiel--a prominent supporter of transhumanism (which seeks to eliminate disability) and opponent of the welfare state, including disability assistance.
"Thiel, apparently, is secretly investing in philosophical eugenics."

Here we go, history is rhyming again.
“In this paper, we argue that the normative framework that motivates much of this goal is rooted in the Anglo-American eugenics tradition of the twentieth century. As a result, many of the very same discriminatory attitudes that animated eugenicists in the past (e.g., racism, xenophobia, classism, ableism, and sexism) remain widespread within the movement to build AGI, resulting in systems that harm marginalized groups and centralize power, while using the language of “safety” and “benefiting humanity” to evade accountability.”#tescreal #eugenics #noai #history https://dair-institute.org/projects/tescreal/

"Certainly, compared to the situation of critical disability theorists, eugenic philosophers enjoy far more publicity, institutional support, and financial security.
Now we have a better understanding of *why* these hateful bigots have been so successful..."

While everyone is rightfully concerned about ICE’s new ‘Shock Gloves’, it’s important to know that shock devices have been used in prisons and schools for disabled children for years.
The Gloves killed an inmate in Kentucky after a guard held them to his body for well over a minute.
Disabled children are exposed to electric shocks to ‘correct’ their behaviour.
ICE should not have access to these weapons, but we must also fight to get them out of schools and jails.
We must refuse to accept atrocities.

Now he's free, in his own words, to become "head of the dept of eugenics & race science at Harvard"
Yeah, good luck with that

Dang, only found out about University of Wisconsin Press' #DisabilityPrideMonth sale after the fact.
Looks like "Unlearning Eugenics
Sexuality, Reproduction, and Disability in Post-Nazi Europe" is worth a good look.https://uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/U/Unlearning-Eugenics2 #Ableism #Eugenics #Disability #Fascism

To get confirmed, Overton will have to win approval from a narrowly Republican-led #Senate & face questions from the Senate #health committee. Its chair, #Republican Sen #BillCassidy, a physician from Louisiana, has been a vocal critic of some of #Trump’s actions to sow doubt in #vaccinations, including his recent order.

Overton has been critical of #abortion pills &, if confirmed, would be positioned to roll back #FDA rules that made the pills more accessible. US abortion opponents have expressed frustration that the #Trump admin hasn’t moved to stem the flow of #AbortionMedication prescribed online, a situation they view as undermining state #AbortionBans.

At an Oval Office event to promote that order, she stood by #Trump as he FALSELY suggested the number or timing of #vaccines could play a role in rising rates of #autism spectrum disorder, even as #scientific consensus & decades of #studies have firmly concluded there is NO LINK.

In recent months, she has appeared with #Trump to unveil major projects, including some of his “most favored nation” deals with drug companies to lower prices to those of other developed countries & his recent controversial #vaccine order, which sought to split the combined measles, mumps & rubella, or #MMR, vaccine into 3 separate immunizations AGAINST the advice of medical groups.

Overton attended medical school at the University of New Mexico & has a doctoral degree in clinical investigation from Johns Hopkins University, according to her LinkedIn profile. Before joining #Trump’s 2nd admin, she served as chief #policy officer at the #conservative think tank America First Policy Institute.

#Trump picks Dr. Heidi Overton, a White House aide & #Trump #loyalist, to lead the #FDA
A medical doctor & deputy director of the White House Domestic #Policy Council who worked on several of Trump’s 2nd-term “health” initiatives, Overton has become a trusted figure in the admin & a champion of Trump’s goals [ #disenfranchisement of the #poor & #eugenics ].

Mental Health Workers Say Algorithmic Triage Is Hurting Patients
"To understand some of the ways that AI is affecting mental health care, Capital & Main spoke with more than a dozen therapists, clinicians, academic experts and advocates in Wisconsin and California, who said the hasty integration of the technology is eroding patients’ access to timely and appropriate mental health care. While AI is changing work in many professions, its use can have particularly high stakes in the mental health field, workers said, by creating barriers to care for patients who are already struggling with major depression, bipolar disorder and other serious conditions."

CW: CW: Eugenics During WWII
I'm still making my way through "My Opposition" which I started years ago, but got more into Klemperer and other sources.
Kellner's emphasis is less personal than Klemperer's. He takes on the mantle of witness to posterity so he's very focused on providing evidence of Nazi crimes and how many were going along with them.
In this entry, he describes what we later learned was Aktion T4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4
It's easy to get abled people to go along with sterilizing, warehousing, and killing disabled people. Then once the machinery is set up for that...

#TIL what #TESCREAL means. I'm impressed by the explanatory power of conceiving of this cluster of #ideologies as an #interconnected #aggregate which then get used to justify #harm
I feel like a lightbulb went on and that I understand the current state we're all in a bit better now.
Highly recommend starting with the @wikipedia article, which covers the #concept and some of the #criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL
Thanks go to #Bhante #Sujato (https://sujato.me/) for making me aware of the term.

#Racism is real, distinct races are not. There is only one human race.
#Genetics is #science. #Eugenics is #pseudoscience. It’s like #astronomy and #astrology. They seem related, but they are not.

People treat the disabled as invisible.
They look past us.
They ignore us.
Rashawn Williams has Down Syndrome and was lost.
He approached Metro workers and no one helped him.
He ended up in their “refuge area” for 6 days because no one checked on him.
He survived but deserved so much better:

"We force animals to adapt to the constraints of farming modelled on the mass production of manufactured goods, whereas farming should respect the ethological needs of animals. This is a transgression because we grant ourselves an absolute right that we do not have. This violence towards animals is a condemnation of us. Yet our relationship with animals could be an opportunity to think about a way of inhabiting the Earth that makes coexistence with other species possible. This requires new foundations for ethics and politics."
