Man terminally ill with motor neurone disease loses court bid to change law on assisted dying A man with terminal motor neurone disease says he will appeal against a High Court decision not to allow him to challenge the law on assisted dying.
Three judges rejected Neil Conway's bid to change the law, which currently means it is illegal to help someone take their own life.
But they praised Mr Conway's "selfless" actions in bringing the case and said they felt "deep sympathy" for him and his family.
Passing judgment Lord Justice Burnett said that it would be "institutionally inappropriate" for the court to challenge the decision of Parliament. The Daily Telegraph
