The right to die
In a posthumous message published today, assisted dying campaigner Noel Conway has declared that it is ‘only a question of time’ before the law changes to allow terminally ill people to end their lives
It was announced this morning that Noel Conway, 71, had died after removing his ventilator. Conway, who suffered from motor neurone disease, brought an ultimately unsuccessful challenge against the law on assisted dying in 2018.
Humanists UK, which intervened in support of his case, issued a statement from the former teacher to be released on his death.
