Recommended report

This is emotionally difficult to read but so important!

Disability Voice Lost in Medical Discrimination from Disability Rights Washington.

It talks a lot about the Ashley Treatment, and also cases where life saving treatments were withheld from PWD due to discrimination. The Report centers the experiences of PWD and the social justice model of disability. It is very good reading, very clear and well stated activism.

Belated thank you for posting this. It was fascinating in a very distressing way, and I am impressed with that organization, which I haven't heard of before.
