"UK court rules against euthanasia" by MARIA CHENG | AP Medical Writer, August 01, 2013
LONDON — A British appeals court upheld a law against euthanasia in rejecting appeals from two severely disabled men who argued that doctors should be allowed to legally kill them.
The two men — one of whom died of pneumonia last year — claimed their right to ‘‘private and family life’’ as guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights was being violated since they were not allowed to choose how and when they wanted to die.
In a judgment issued on Wednesday, the Court of Appeal acknowledged the current law interferes with that right but ruled the ban on euthanasia is justified. It upheld a decision by the High Court last year that any changes to the euthanasia law must be made by politicians, not judges.
In a unanimous ruling, the judges said the two men had ‘‘permanent and catastrophic physical disabilities’’ but said the issue of euthanasia ‘‘raises profoundly sensitive questions about the nature of our society.’’ The judges wrote that ‘‘Parliament represents the conscience of the nation’’ and said the court had no jurisdiction to challenge the legal ban on euthanasia.
‘‘I am absolutely gutted,’’ said Paul Lamb, one of the men involved, who was severely paralyzed after a car accident.
‘‘I was hoping for a humane and dignified end,’’ Lamb said in a statement. ‘‘This judgment does not give me that.’’
Lamb said he would carry on with the legal fight for euthanasia. His lawyer said they were considering options for appealing the case to the Supreme Court, together with the widow of the other man in the case, Tony Nicklinson.
