英国で自殺幇助を求めるMSAの男性の訴訟、最高裁へ

The 54-year-old, who can only be referred to as Omid T, is involved in an ongoing legal battle against the UK's "blanket ban" on assisted suicide.

He is in the advanced stages of multiple system atrophy (MSA), diagnosed in 2014, and has been effectively bed-bound for the past two years.

The former property developer finds life "intolerable" and wants to die, but is unable to do so without help.

Omid's lawyers are asking two senior judges for permission to challenge expert evidence on behalf of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), which is defending the case.
