Woman with ALS asks court for legal right to die with dignity

Woman with ALS asks court for legal right to die with dignity: "Nearly two decades after Sue Rodriguez fought for the right to die with dignity, another British Columbia woman with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, has come forward to ask the court for choice in dying. Today, Gloria Taylor filed an application with the BC Supreme Court asking to be added as a plaintiff in the BCCLA’s death with dignity lawsuit. Gloria, 63, of Westbank, BC, is terminally ill with ALS, a fatal neurodegenerative disease with no known cure or effective treatment."
