"My Doctors Said I'd Die at 19. I'm 32 & Fighting Back." | Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

"Society says it's better dead than disabled." This week, we sit down with Ryan Yellowlees , a counselor and activist who is living—and thriving—with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, decades past his initial prognosis. Ryan gets real about the progression of his condition , the systemic ableism he fights against , and why he's fiercely campaigning against the expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), calling it modern-day eugenics. He shares his unique perspective on finding strength and purpose in disability and why, given the choice, he'd live this life all over again.Find Ryan: https://www.lifeempoweredcounselling.caFollow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!
