Filed under: News — Ivan @ 2:20 pm

The author Sir Terry Pratchett is calling for euthanasia tribunals to give sufferers from incurable diseases the right to medical help to end their lives.

In his lecture, Shaking Hands With Death, the author will volunteer to be a test case before a euthanasia tribunal himself.
