| 520 | |a A debate about physician-assisted suicide dominated the French media during the spring of 2007, ignited by the trial of a French doctor and nurse accused of poisoning a cancer patient in the final stages of her illness.

The matter was investigated but Dr Riccio was not prosecuted.3 The case, however, was divisive in the predominantly Catholic country, and Mr Welby was refused a Catholic funeral on the basis that he had gone against Catholic teachings through expressing a wish to die. In the UK, the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment is legal if it is made at the request of a competent patient, is … | ||
