Assisted Dying Study

We interviewed 21 people with a learning disability in England (April-July 2026). We asked them:
What is assisted dying?
Why might people want (or not want) an assisted death?
How would people with a learning disability make a decision about having an assisted death?
What are your questions and worries about assisted dying?

Below are some of the early outputs from the study (Videos and Briefing Notes).

We are currently preparing the results for publication in both academic and accessible formats. Details will be available on this page.

This study was funded by Kingston University London & Down’s Syndrome Research Foundation UK
