Rejected petition legalise euthanasia
More details
give terminally ill people of sound mind the right to choose assisted euthanasia to be carried out by a registered medical professional in hospital. where the person is not of sound mind or incapable of making or communicating the the decision, let the next of kin and appropriate medical professionals discuss and be able to to decide on their behalf without the need to apply for court orders etc, which will then save money within the legal system. it is in humane to let animals endure suffering of any kind which can lead the owners receiving a criminal record of animal neglect, so why is it acceptable to let a human suffer in the same way? let people choose whats best with the help and advice of medical professionals, not the legal system!
