Assisted dying case of Wendy Duffy

Duffy, a former care worker, stated that she has been unable to come to terms with the loss of her twenty-three-year-old son, Marcus, who died four years ago.

She has reportedly paid £10,000 to the Pegasos clinic in Switzerland, where she will undergo the procedure today.

Her case is unique as she does not suffer from a terminal physical illness, prompting complex questions about the boundaries of end-of-life care.

Supporters argue for the right to bodily autonomy in cases of unbearable grief, while critics warn that such instances could lead to a dangerous expansion of assisted suicide criteria.
