Rejected petition Legalise Euthanasia in the UK

More details

Euthanasia should be legal in the UK because people have the right to die especially if they are terminally ill.

Passive euthanaisa such as withholding treatment is already practised in the UK. So why is euthansia still illegal?

I want the government to make euthanasia legal and not just regard what the Church of England think about this issue.
