Allow adult British citizens the right to choose doctor-assisted suicide

Petition Details

Adults should have the right to choose authorised-doctor-assisted suicide in Britain, protected by legal safeguards established in consultation with interested parties, including mental health professionals and disability organisations.

Additional Information

The legal rights to make end of life choices, such as putting a Do Not Attempt Resuscitation order in a Living Will, and to dignity already exist. Assisted suicide is legal in 5 European countries, Canada and several states in America. It is available to British citizens who are able to travel to the Swiss clinic Dignitas and are capable of receiving, and can afford to pay for, its services. It is not currently legal in Britain.
