FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Diane refused euthanasia

RIGHT-TO-DIE campaigner Diane Pretty refused an offer to die at a Swiss euthanasia clinic so she could launch her court challenge, her family has revealed.

Speaking at the three-year anniversary of her death, her husband Brian said the offer came just after Mrs Pretty, who was paralysed with motor neurone disease, launched her legal fight.
