Legalise Euthanasia for people with incurable mental and physical conditions.

What the petition asks

I would like the Government and Parliament to provide people who are suffering from incurable physical or mental conditions the right to choose voluntary Euthanasia if that is what they desire. I think that incurable suffering without an end can be inhumane.
I believe that some individuals who are suffering from incurable physical or mental conditions live in pain & distress, without the option to end their suffering via Euthanasia. I think this is cruel and neglectful, and violates the right of an individual’s free will over their own life, potentially forcing them to live in agony, sometimes for decades. I believe that it is only kind to give them the choice.
