Rejected petition Legalise Euthanasia and allow sufferers such as the late Tony Nicklinson the right to release himself from unnecessary torment.
More details
We, the British people have been heartbroken by the case of the late Tony Nicklinson who was left suffering with 'locked in syndrome' after a terrible stroke.
We ask that the law be changed and atleast considered as the ruling Tony faced during his own court case was incredibly one-sided. We wish to prevent the suffering of people currently struggling with conditions similar to Tony's.
Let those who wish to, die with dignity.
