A man with multiple system atrophy wants to change the law to legalise assisted suicide for anyone with incurable illnesses. Iranian father-of-three Omid is crowdfunding a High Court bid to change the law on assisted suicide. Baroness Campbell, founder of ‘Not Dead Yet UK’, who also has spinal muscular atrophy, believes that the lives of the vulnerable must be protected and assisted suicide should remain illegal. She warned, ‘Changing the law would be a real threat to disabled people’. Omid is 54, his muscles and speech have deteriorated, and he is bed-bound. In 2015 he attempted suicide but failed. His condition is not terminal; he could live another 15+ years. He says that suicide is legal, but he cannot end his life without control in his arms and hands. The court case continues; judgment is expected before Easter.
