Legalise euthanasia

What the petition asks
Make it legal for people to be euthanised if they want to, for instance if they have a terminal illness, disease or meet a specific criteria to be allowed to end their life.
We think people are left to suffer from illness/disease. They live in unbearable conditions mentally and physically until their body stops functioning. Individuals should have the option to end their own suffering. If you are given a diagnosis and expect to spend years with physical changes and disabilities, you might be constantly thinking about your death until you pass away. If euthanasia was available, we think people could enjoy what is left of their life, knowing they won't be in agony for years after.
