Mother in court to end her ‘conscious’ daughter’s life

Mother in court to end her ‘conscious’ daughter’s life | News | The Christian Institute: A mother’s application to end the life of her incapacitated daughter is being heard by the [UK] Court of Protection, in a case which could shift the law on euthanasia. It is significant because the daughter has a degree of consciousness – which means she can respond to touch, move an arm and can put her tongue in and out. The mother is seeking permission to withdraw food and water from her brain-damaged daughter.
