Most disabled in UK want right to die
Courts in Britain have been grappling with a spate of right-to-die cases that have sent emotions running high in recent weeks.
The Observer reports that a survey has found that four out of five disabled people want the country\'s law change so they can be helped to die if they become terminally ill. The poll\'s publication comes after a High Court judge refused to intervene two weeks ago to stop the husband of a woman with a degenerative brain disease taking her to a clinic in Switzerland for an assisted suicide, even though the man could be committing a crime. It emerged on the weekend that the 46-year-old woman had committed suicide with an overdose of barbiturates at the Dignitas clinic in Zurich. Full report in The Observer
