Rejected petition To cover sickle cell in life insurance

It is estimated that there are between 12,500 and 15,000 people with sickle cell disease in the UK. I think it is inhuman that people with this disease or trait of this disease cannot qualify for life insurance.

More details

The number of people with this disease will increase due to more births and increased population.
