littlemissmutant: This is the little girl who was killed in the UK in August. She was 12 years old. Her name was Nancy Fitzmaurice. I think it’s important that we use her name and her picture. It’s worth pointing out, also, that she wasn’t allowed to die and she certainly wasn’t assisted to die. She was forced to die. She was starved and dehydrated until she died. Nancy Fitzmaurice was killed, not by her own request but by court order, in a country without the death penalty. If we can’t legally say she was murdered, can we say she was executed for having a significant disability? Only 15% of those polled think this was wrong.

    I remember this, and it was scary how many people saw nothing wrong with it. This little girl was not on life support...
