A right to die

Do you think you have the right die?
What is your answer instinctively?


I guess many will be, 'yes'.
However, in the UK you do not have a right to die unless you commit suicide.
The states has a duty of care to care for you medically as well as social care,
housing, and social security. I also remember a case in which the man was so
hopeless (no mental health issues) and wished no die, but I had to support him
in various ways to 'sustain' his life. He did pass way with natural cause few month later.

There has been in very interesting case at the High Court about the very
subject and I was interested if the UK law is ready for one's right to die.
Below is a link to the man who took the case up to High Court to meet his needs,
however he failed and he passed away only few days after the ruling.

If the case had won, it would have had a hugh impact in many different levels within
individuals, society, law, medicine, and social care. First of all, it is a moral question
for all of us to think about.....
