Rejected petition Support the right to die with dignity

Terminally ill people deserve the right to die on their own terms, but the UK’s current law against assisted dying is forcing thousands to suffer unnecessarily

More details

Why should people who have a terminal illness made to live the rest of their life suffering? When pets are sick they get put down out of the pain, why can’t people who have an actual say be the same? Humans shouldn’t have to go on suffering and being in pain it’s immoral,

Personally I watched Someon I love suffer in pain with terminal cancer and it taking their life,
People should have a say when they want to go before they get to the point they can’t hack it anymore
