Jake’s Amendment Would Accurately Record Akathisia-Induced Deaths

We stand with Stephanie McGill-Lynch and her campaign for Jake’s Amendment in Ireland. After losing her 14-year-old son Jake in 2013, she’s been calling for essential reforms to the Coroner’s Act—so that iatrogenic harm (medically induced harm) can be properly recorded as a contributing cause of death when warranted.

When healthcare contributes to a tragedy, families deserve truth—not silence. Blaming victims of iatrogenesis for their own prescribed demise is morally wrong and can perpetuate stigma and lead to further medical harm.

Stephanie’s advocacy is a powerful step toward honesty, healing, and accountability. Listen and learn more about Jake’s Amendment at: https://www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/jakes-amendment-why-sinn-fein-wa-ZjQ5NjgzZTY3NGE5NTEyMGI4MGY0NmQ1MDQ0YzQyYjA=.
