4 weeks today MPs vote whether to progress with legalising medically assisted suicide in England & Wales.

I made this documentary with @BBC @OpenUniversity @_BurningBright_ to explain why me & many other disabled people are opposed.

Thanks for sharing, watching & commenting on my @BBC documentary Better Off Dead? explaining why me & many other disabled people oppose assisted suicide from a disability rights & not a religious perspective

The @openuniversity supported the making of it
