    I'm finding this a bit odd.

    How are people to know the petition is there beyond as you did @Andy 'spot it'? Maybe it's out there on social media somewhere.

    The statistical facts don't seem at all up to date either. The 4:1 ratio for female/male. The peek incidence age could be right but I think we don't really know for sure do we? I think there are more certain/different things they could have said with more impact.

    Would be good to know more about the person(s) behind petition and more specifics of what they want and why. I mean, it can be a very good idea or would it be more useful to invest money in doing collaborative research where infrastructure is already present? (I don't know the answer to this)
