Rejected petition Allow people the choice to die with dignity

More details

I want the government to allow people with severe life-limiting diseases to be able to end their life if they so choose with the help of a medical professional.

This is not aiming to pressurise older people to do so but simply to give somebody with a disease like Tony Nicklinson the chance to end their suffering.

If you agree with this cause and want a return to the chance to die if you cannot live anymore, please sign this.
