Legalise medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed cases of brain death
I want the Government to legalise medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed brain death cases. I believe families should not have to face potentially waiting days for the body to shut down and that a clear legal framework would reduce suffering, protect dignity and support grieving families.
I believe the law should be reviewed to allow compassionate, medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed brain death cases, after a short period for goodbyes. I think this would protect dignity, support families, and provide clear safeguards.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
