«Nothing for us without us.” That is the motto of the Disability Rights Movement that Pullman (2023) seems to ignore in his work against wider access to medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in Canada (Bill C-7, 2021). In his attempt to advocate for people with disabilities, he appeals to the ableist argument behind euthanasia. We argue that his argument is fallacious for three main reasons: (1) There is a lack of empirical support proving that people with disabilities are receiving euthanasia at higher rates than those in the general population. (2) It is grounded on the so-called “expressivist objection,” according to which euthanasia sends a demeaning social message about the value of the lives of people with disabilities (Hofmann, 2017). (3) It falls into cripwashing, that is, using the rights protections of one group (persons with disabilities) to restrain general rights (Moscoso and Platero, 2017)».
