Right To Die
67-year-old retired college lecturer, Noel Conway from Shropshire may look healthy enough in the link provided. But then again, in reality, he suffers from an incurable form of one of the most dreaded afflictions known to mankind - Motor Neurones Disease.
Once an active sports enthusiast who enjoyed such outdoor pursuits as walking, cycling, climbing and skiing, Mr Conway is now confined to a wheelchair, needs help with everyday basic needs, like dressing and feeding himself, and
... fears becoming "entombed" in his own body when the debilitating condition takes its toll.
See report by the BBC's Medical Correspondent, Fergus Walsh:

Clearly one can fully understand the man's desire for legislation to be be passed here... in order to [legally] enable doctors to put an end to his suffering when this eventually happens! Interestingly, you'll note from the article I've provided, that Canada and also the US States of California and Colorado ALL introduced assisted dying during 2016.Last edited by Arthur Little; 9th January 2017 at 00:25.
