Rejected petition Referendum - Assisted Suicide / Assisted Dying - A Referendum is required.

The UK Parliament does not have the jurisdiction over Christian belief. Only the full population of the UK have the right to determine who should have assisted dying / assisted suicide and whether it is acceptable by the UK population itself. This should not be left to 400MPs.

More details

Simple referendum is needed. It is not urgent for Parliament to make this at this time. The UK needs a full referendum with the benefits and the negatives. It should not be rushed through as otherwise it insults all Abrahamic religions.
