Give people the right to chose to die

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

People should not have to suffer. There should be the option of a medically induced death.
Death is not always peaceful, death can be painful, traumatic and prolonged. I would like to be able to choose how, where and when I die.
Look at countries such as Luxembourg, Belgium, Canada and Columbia for guidance on how this could work.
