Rejected petition Legalise euthanasia/ assisted suicide in the UK

For the discussion of legalising euthanasia and assisted suicide in the UK.
Give people the right to die with dignity.

More details

We need it - allowing people to ‘die with dignity’ is kinder than forcing them to continue their lives with suffering.
We want it - every patient has a right to choose when to die.
We can control it - euthanasia can be safely regulated by government legislation.

We euthanise our pets when there’s no treatment to improve their quality of life or suffering on the belief that its be cruel to keep them alive. Why isn’t that a decision we can make for own lives or lives of loved ones?
