Right-to-die campaigner urges change after court ruling
A man from Leeds has lost his right-to-die fight at the UK's highest court.
Paul Lamb - a former builder, paralysed in a car accident - took his battle to the Supreme Court alongside the window of former locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson.
They wanted the court to rule that disabled people should have the right to be helped to die. Seven out of nine justices ruled against assisted suicide.
