Petition
Allow a referendum on legalising Assisted Dying.

What the petition asks
Allow the British public to have their say on legalising assisted dying.
This is a highly sensitive topic and one where everyone will have an individual opinion. I feel that the best way to move forward with this is to allow the public to have their say one way or another. It is a too sensitive of a topic for MPs to decide on themselves and I feel it should be opened up to the public to decide.
