What the petition asks

My brother in law needs a lung transplant as he suffers from cystic fibrosis, he has been in hospital for most of this year when he gets out he is back in within 12 days he is only 22 his lung function is around 30% and his consultant says he cant have a lung transplant yet should be his choice
Every human being should have a good quality of life, why should 1000s of people die every year not just with cystic fibrosis but everyone who needs an organ transplant? Most people die as a result of being placed on the transplant list to late, My brother in law who needs a lung transplant does not take life for granted he does not drink, smoke or take drugs he shows courage and determination all the time people like him are an inspiration for us all let it be his choice
