Petition Action

Allow terminally ill cancer patients the right to end their lives

Petition Details

Having watched my wife die in pain from cancer in a drug induced coma over 9 weeks, she begged a doctor to help her die. No one should be allowed to suffer like that, doctors struggled to control pain, I had to watch as they stopped food and water, she died two days later.

Additional Information

After being told her condition was terminal my wife went down hill quickly, nine weeks from admission to death. Doctors tried their best but in the end she was on massive amounts of morphine and other substances. She wasn’t frightened, she knew she dying but just wanted the pain to end and doctors struggled. If there is no chance of survival people should be given that right to choose their own death. Putting people in coma’s is inhumane. You would not treat an animal like that
