Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

That children and people with Down Syndrome are to be fairly assessed for eligibility for organ donation.

What makes my daughter’s life any less important than that of any other child?

This must be changed and we need your help to change it.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about the assessment of children with Down Syndrome for organ transplants, but we're not sure what action you'd like the Government or Parliament to take.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
