Actor and Disability Rights Activist Liz Carr Speaks Out Against Legalizing Assisted Death in the US, ‘They Think It’s Better to Be Dead Than to Be Disabled’
Liz Carr speaks out against the battle to legalize assisted death in the US.
Liz Carr, known for starring in the third season of the fantasy comedy “Good Omens” and playing a forensic scientist in the crime drama “Silent Witness,” supports the U.S. government’s refusal to outright legalize euthanasia in the nation. The case is a controversial one, with many activists like Carr fighting against it with stories like that of Canadian army veteran and former Paralympian Christine Gauthier, who was offered assisted death when she complained to her government that the wheelchair lift installation in her home was taking too long. An example is the heartbreaking case of Ayla Eilert, who died in April 2022 after a seven-month-long arduous battle with cancer that left her in agony and pleading for the option of a doctor-assisted death that was not available in her home state of New York.
