"Campaigner Noel Conway, who brought a legal challenge against the ban on assisted dying in the UK, has died at the age of 71.

Mr Conway, of Shropshire, had motor neurone disease and only had movement in his right hand, head and neck.

He took his campaign to the Supreme Court, arguing for his right to die, but lost the appeal in 2018.

His wife Carol said he had died at home on Wednesday after deciding with his family to remove his ventilator."

They’ll assist your smoking habit or binge drinking, but they won’t let you decide when to call it a day

Hope he went out happy surrounded by the people he loved

Was that breaking the law?

Up to eight hours before he died

You can take your own life if you so choose. Asking others for help is a completely different kettle of fish.

Its nuts you can't choose when to go and how, I dont want someone else deciding to extend my life when I would choose to end it, that choice should be mine.

I will do everything I possibly can to go when I want to and have always maintained since childhood that I would want to end my life if the quality of life I was left with would mean that I was unhappy and there was no possible means to improve it.

Then whoever helps you can and likely will be charged with a crime.

It's utterly disgusting that people are treated worse than animals when it comes to this.

Removing the ventilator is declining to continue treatment. As long as the patient is mentally competent, it would be against the law to refuse to follow the patient's wishes.

My mum's in a position that she wants to end her life.

She says so often. It's painful to watch someone you love slowly die

It's interesting the very fine line that separates the ability of the clinician to carry out or not the instructions of the person in their care.

I think it should be legal, why is it ok when it comes to animals but not humans?

The injection is the same for both

He removed his own ventilator while he still could. I suppose technically suicide, but he was not assisted.

my father campained for this, he was in a wheelchair most of his life, everyday was a struggle, not that he was suicidle, but he didnt want to spend years in old age wishing he was dead.

and guess what happened, he spent five misarable years in a nursing home before he mercifly died, it was horibble to watch, he was bed bound all that time, as a family we were all pleased when he died, it was a blessed relief for him. the sooner this is legal the better from my experiance, one day he begged me to break into the nurses cupbourd and get a huge doese of morphine to finish him off, it was heart breaking. we put a dog down when in pain and at end of life, but not humans, madness

I watched my sister suffer with motor neuron disease, it's torturous. She was brave, I myself wouldn't want to go that way. It's so sad that if you wanted to go but wasn't capable yourself you're left helpless
