Sharing Practice: Hate Kills: A justice- doing response to ‘suicide’
The language of suicide is unjust, abusive and inaccurate language. People don’t kill themselves in isolation: Hate kills. From a perspective of justice-doing the language of suicide is psychological language that blames people for their own suffering and deaths, when we have collectively failed to join them to the human community with an ethic of belonging. ‘Suicide’, in all contexts of people’s struggles, obscures the person’s many acts of resistance to stay on the planet.
We will also take a critical look at diverse perspectives of MAID Medical Assistance in Dying/VAD- Voluntary Assisted Dying and consider our cultural, spiritual, practical responses. We will dialogue about your practice connections to these ideas of what gets called ‘suicide’, inviting us to engage an ethic of tenderness.
