Rejected petition We wish for Tony Nicklinson's legacy to live on and for assisted suicide to become legal

More details

Tony Nicklinson passed away without getting his dying wish. A change in the law on assisted suicide. We are therefore asking for assisted suicide to be debated in the House of commons with a view to changing the law and to show that Tony's efforts were not in vain.

We put animals to sleep who are suffering and they do not have a say in that. Humans do and do not get their way. This cannot be right.
