Where to start? Where was this article cut and pasted from? somebody's term paper? it clearly wasn't originally written for wikipedia. (e.g. "see separate handout") Are there copyright issues? A lot of the language is POV. For example:

"The ADD uses a slippery slope argument (see separate handout) that amounts to coercion on Elizabeth and others like her to accept their fate despite the hardships that living causes them. A quality of life approach would reply to these groups that it is up to individuals to decide their own quality of life and to coerce them into living is to violate a constitutionally guaranteed right to self-determination."

Ableism edit

This page is ableist because it doesn’t record the fact that the disabled community opposed Bouvia’s starvation. I tried to add that information & the edits were immediately deleted. 2601:18C:505:2890:292C:C887:FE81:6D10 (talk) 22:49, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • That is correct. On Wikipedia, you need to provide reliable sources for the text you add. Drmies (talk) 02:25, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
