Changing the words, re-framing the issue
Readers of both the print and web versions of Ragged Edge are probably aware that Not Dead Yet, along with some other voices, have been expressing concern over some of the advocacy of the "end of life" movement. Specifically, we've charged that certain aspects of disability health care policy are being re-framed as "end of life care" policy. In doing so, we say, groups such as Partnership for Caring and Last Acts have encroached on disability policy, but in re-naming it as something else, have been able to bar our place at the policy-discussion table.
