A Spanish woman dies by euthanasia after a long legal battle with her father.

Noelia Castillo, who had conducted a long legal battle with her father for the right to end her life, died on Thursday.

The Catalan government granted her the right to assisted dying but the process was suspended after legal objections raised by her father.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in her favour earlier this week.

@Wen many people, including myself will find this hard. The prospect of people suffering and being frightened I find really disturbing, epsecially when at least some of that could have been avoided via #assisteddying. Life is precious but so is quality of life, even in the final chapter.

No idea how to paste this better but disappointed that this bill on assisted dying didn't pass.
I understand the emotions on both sides. But I'd want the choice, and think others should have it too. The thought of not being able to have the same right an animal has to be put out of my misery or put my kith and kin at risk of prosecution of helping me to travel where it's legal...it just isn't right.

Scotland's assisted dying bill rejected after emotional debate

Scotland would have become the first part of the UK to legalise the process had MSPs backed the proposals.

#Scotland has voted against #assisteddying. This is a very emotional subject, and I am sure those on both sides of the debate were heart felt in their opinions and honest. In the end though, I feel more for those who are facing their end of life and are now worried about how peaceful that will be. We should be about removing fear and bringing peace to people in the final stages of life.
