Rejected petition Make voluntary euthanasia legal for terminally ill patients in the UK.

Many terminally ill patients die in the UK in significant pain. A large amount of these patients would have taken the option to die in a peaceful and controlled way if the option was available for them. Everyone has the right to live and should also have the right to die in a more dignified way.
