JF - Clinical Medicine JO - Clin Med SP - 142 LP - 148 DO - 10.7861/clinmedicine.3-2-142 VL - 3 IS - 2 AU - Dame Brenda Hale Y1 - 2003/03/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/3/2/142.abstract N2 - This paper discusses the present extent and limits of a persons right to choose when and how to die, in the light of the contrasting decisions in the cases of Mrs Pretty (who was not allowed the choice) and Ms B (who was), and of the European Convention of Human Rights. It also discusses whether the Convention might eventually develop a right to self determination which would include such a right. ER -
