Abstract

The recent court case of 'C', a 54-year old woman who chose not to undergo dialysis and subsequently died, indicates that the court does not really believe in an individual’s right to act upon a private preference without subjecting him or her to judicial scrutiny. No competent person should need permission to die, and nor should their reasons be questioned by any court.
