Court allows woman with signs of consciousness to die

Landmark as Court of Protection rules food and fluids can be withdrawn from MS patient in “Minimally Conscious State”

A judge has ordered doctors to remove life-sustaining support from a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient, despite the fact that she is still partially conscious.

In a landmark ruling, Mr Justice Hayden said that a 68-year-old woman known only as Mrs N should have tubes which she relies on for nourishment and hydration removed, after describing her life as “profoundly humiliating”.

The decision led to fears about its implications, with one MP describing it as “bringing in euthanasia by the back door”.
