Support the Right of Terminally Ill Patients to Choose Assisted Suicide
The Issue
Across the world, everyone recognizes the importance of autonomy and dignity in death as equally as in life. Currently, many terminally ill patients suffer needlessly due to restrictions or outright bans on medically assisted suicide. According to a well-regarded report published by The Lancet in 2017, countries where assisted suicide is legal report lower overall suicide rates, providing evidence against the claim that assisted suicide would lead to more suicides in the general population. Advocate for a person's right to end their life with dignity, free from devastating pain and debilitation. Let's support policies that respect and uphold both life and death, advocating for people and families facing the most challenging decisions of their lives. Please sign this petition to show legislators there is widespread support for changing laws to allow terminally ill patients to choose assisted suicide.
