What the petition asks
There are proposals to make assisted dying legal in the UK. This is a form of suicide and should not be permitted. It exposes vulnerable people to pressure to end their lives. It weakens the respect for sanctity of life. It suggests some lives are worth more than others. It must stay illegal.
