Rejected petition Euthanasia is a Human Right

More details

Euthanasia gives humans the right and choice to die in a dignified, safe and humane environment.

Ageing is un-avoidable, but living a happy, independent life can be threatened when the ageing process means our enjoyment and independence is severely compensated.

We should not be forced to endure loosing our independence, loosing the pleasure of watching our grandchildren play in the park or grocery shopping for our selves because we become incapable to perfuming tasks we may now take for granted.

We must fight to end our lives when we know living longer will be something we cannot face. Some must live with Alzheimer's, knowing they will forget their loved ones, and loose their communicative ability and freedom. Some must live in homes where they need care 24/7. This is a life we should have the right to choose.

I am a human being. I wish to die in a humane, dignified way.
