NPOV failing, only lists advocates not opponents[edit]

There is extensive opposition towards Euthanasia within the UK Disability Rights community, however the article lists only advocates. Prominent opponents include the disabled peer and noted disability rights activist Baroness Jane Campbell, the disabled MSP Siobhan McMahon and the organisation Care Not Killing amongst others. c.f. MSP says assisted suicide bill ‘fuelled demonisation of disabled people' http://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/msp-says-assisted-suicide-bill-fuelled-demonisation-of-disabled-people/

As a disability rights activist and opponent of euthanasia I shouldn't be the one to re-write this, but the existence of many disabled people like me shows why the rewrite is necessary.

As a side issue there is a clear case for all Euthanasia articles being tagged as disability-related as it is inevitably disabled people who are the intended subjects of these policies. 92.238.224.101 (talk) 19:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
