В борьбе за самоубийство

[antonborisov]

Женщина в Великобритании добилась в суде, что ее мужа не привлекут к ответственности, если он поможет ей покончить с собой.

Debbie Purdy, who has multiple sclerosis, said the ruling “gives me my life back.” The judgment is a defeat for those who argue that Britain’s law on assisted, already rarely enforced, risks being further weakened.

Purdy, 46, had argued that if her husband, Cuban violinist Omar Puente, faced prosecution for helping her go abroad to commit suicide, she would go alone to spare him the legal trouble. She says knowing he is free from the threat of jail means she can live out her life a little longer because Puente could help her commit suicide even if she were too impaired to take the trip on her own.

“This decision means that I can make an informed choice, with Omar, about whether he travels abroad with me to end my life because we will know exactly where we stand,” she said.
