Right to die case could go to Europe

A terminally ill woman will take her landmark case for assisted suicide to Europe if she loses her appeal, supporters have revealed.

Ireland’s highest court will rule today if multiple sclerosis sufferer Marie Fleming can choose to die peacefully at home in the arms of her partner, Tom Curran, without leaving him with a threat of jail.

The former university lecturer took her appeal to the Supreme Court after losing a legal challenge at the High Court in Dublin.
