This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Referendum on assisted dying Bill. The right of choice.
The public should choose, via referendum, whether to accept the bill put forward by Wolverhampton South West MP, Rob Marris.
It should be a national decision; not a politically motivated one.
More details
As you're reading this people are dying in slow agonizing pain, willing it to come sooner. Their suffering was dictated by merely a few hundred people who they're likely to have never met, who will never know their name and will not shed a tear for them.
Religion has a place in our society, however it should not dictate each individuals choice on this issue; therefore we, as a nation, need to decide whether we feel it is right to empower already dying individuals to stop their own suffering.
