Noel Conway: Terminally ill man granted assisted dying appeal A terminally ill man who wants to be helped to die has been granted permission to take his case to appeal.
Two judges from the Court of Appeal said there should be a full hearing of 68-year-old Noel Conway's case.
Mr Conway, a retired lecturer from Shropshire who has motor neurone disease, was too ill to attend court.
Last October, the High Court rejected his challenge to the Suicide Act 1961 which he argues breaches his right to a "peaceful and dignified death".
