What the petition asks
My father who had Alzheimers and Myeloma recently suffered a bleed on the brain which was described as a terminal event by his doctors, he lived for 8 further days essentially unconscious with no way to express pain apart from facial expressions and groans until he got too weak for even that.
I'm petitioning for a change in the law to allow Euthenasia to become a legal option in the case of terminal patients where 2 doctors agree that recovery is unlikely. The final decision to be made by the nearest next of kin. Also for patients to be able to set there own guidelines at an earlier date that they would like euthenasia to be administered under parameters set by themselves in the onset of certain illnesses.
How can it be right that we let our loved ones suffer but not our pets?
