Rick's Law. Allow NHS funded Euthanasia for late Stage Dementia Patients

Closed 36 signatures

What the petition asks

A plea to our Government to allow and fund Euthanasia for late stages of Dementia, with certified clearance from 2 Doctors and clearance from next of Kin.
My father was diagnosed at 58 years old, a serving Army Officer bravely fighting all over the world protecting his country . My father is now 74 years old lays in a bed legs locked up stiff screaming at a high pitch. We have endless days watching helplessly as such a brave man looks like a corpse and disintegrates in front of our eyes. It's time we were able to protect our loved ones' dignity and release and relieve their souls from these inhumane illnesses. It's so heart-wrenching for family to see.
