This article briefly presents a legal case from the U.K. in which a terminally ill woman with motor neuron disease wanted her husband to assist her commit suicide, & so asked the DPP for an assurance that he would not prosecute her husband. When the DPP refused, she sought a judicial order that the DPP give the undertaking or else make a declaration that the prohibition on assisted suicide was incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. The courts rejected her claim. Their reasons are described here.
