DISABLED People Against Cuts (DPAC) is to be congratulated on its courage for battling the assisted dying Bills going through both Houses of Parliament.

As Ellen Clifford notes in today’s exclusive article for the Morning Star, there is a difference between this campaign and DPAC’s superb work fighting Atos’s humiliating and unfair Fit for Work tests or its heroic effort to save the independent living fund, now removed by our hard-right government.

That difference is that DPAC will find itself on the opposite side of the argument from many of its natural allies on the left, who “tend to assume they are in favour” of assisted suicide.
