Give obese people the same care and respect and human rights as a normal sized

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

To give obese people the same care on the NHS as any other human being
To be given the same treatments surgery and help
To have the same human rights
Not be discriminated against just because we are overweight
We have the right to be treated medically like every other person

Without being judged.
We are treated like dirt
Obese people also have feelings, hearts family who love them
We are not just a number we are humans
Being treated differently due to our size is wrong
Being left to die is wrong
Being ignored is wrong
Not given the right care and support is wrong
Im looking help so overweight people can have faith that if something does go wrong medically they will be given the same care and respect as any other person needing care
Thank you

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We aren't clear what specific policies you'd like to change. You could start a new petition with a clear request of what changes you want to see made, or we could accept a petition calling for a review into obese people's access to healthcare, if that's what you'd like.
