As someone who has watched both my mother and father die slowly, painfully and with total lack of dignity (despite the best palliative care available), and having recently been diagnosed with a painful degenerative disease myself, I would ask you to sign this petition to let our MSPs know that the majority of the people of Scotland support Margo MacDonald's Bill.

There will at some point quite soon be a "free vote" where our 129 MSPs will decide, without a referendum or recourse to the Scottish People, whether to make this Bill law or not.
