Wendy Duffy ends life

Wendy Duffy has died by euthanasia at the Pegasos clinic in Basel, Switzerland, after paying 10,000 to end her life.

The 56-year-old former care worker traveled from the West Midlands, stating that her life had become unbearable following the death of her son Marcus four years ago.

Duffy's case has ignited a fierce debate in the UK over assisted dying laws, particularly for those suffering from psychological distress rather than terminal illness.

Her family, while devastated, stated they respected her decision to seek peace on her own terms.
