Fleming regrets not killing herself, appeal court told

A terminally ill woman taking a landmark case on assisted suicide regrets not ending her life when she was able to do it herself.

Seven Supreme Court judges are hearing the appeal of the 59-year-old multiple sclerosis sufferer Marie Fleming, which was fast-tracked through the system.

Ms Fleming, from Co Wicklow, wants to be saved a “horrible death” and be allowed to die peacefully and with dignity in her own home, with the people she loves around her.
