Paralysed Woman looks for right to die in Ireland.

Marie Fleming who is suffering from MS is seeking the right to die in Ireland. Mrs Fleming registered a few years back with Dignitas as a patient but was talked out of it by her husband. A solictor has been engaged to work on her behalf to challenge the ban on assisted suicide and that the prevention of her right to die is an infringement of her dignity and autonomy.The court has ruled on such a situation before:

 In 1995, the Supreme Court ruled that the right to die included the right to die a dignified and natural death in a case involving a woman who had been in a near-persistent vegetative state for more than 20 years. 
People who are in the legal definition "compos mentis" should have at their disposal all tools to enable them to die as they see fit. Such a choice rests with the person alone and no one else and those who aid them in situations where it is not murder or under duress should be free from legal reprecussion. The opinion of two doctos perhaps sought and a psychologist to ensure that the decision is entirely voluntary. We have DNR's already in Ireland as part of the legal framework, the right to die should be included too.
