Legalise medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed cases of brain death

Legalise medically supervised assisted dying in confirmed cases of brain death — 97 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

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.

Additional details

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.
