What the petition asks
I want the Government to legalise medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed brain death cases. I believe families should not have to face potentially waiting days for the body to shut down and that a clear legal framework would reduce suffering, protect dignity and support grieving families.
I believe the law should be reviewed to allow compassionate, medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed brain death cases, after a short period for goodbyes. I think this would protect dignity, support families, and provide clear safeguards.
