Right to die campaigner to fight on despite European Court rejection
A right to die campaigner from Leeds says he will fight on despite having his case rejected by the European Court of Human Rights.
Paul Lamb, a former builder was paralysed in a road accident more than twenty years ago and needs twenty four hour care.
He took his case to the court in Strasbourg along with Jane Nicklinson, whose husband Tony died more than two years ago after suffering locked-in syndrome.
They have been campaigning for disabled people to have the right to be helped to die with dignity.
