euthanasia is illegal there but the issue is being debated again after a court acquitted one doctor of poisoning seven terminally ill patients. that ruling came a day after another french court said that a quadriplegic man should be allowed to die. but within hours of that decision, the european court of human rights stepped in with a rare emergency ruling blocking the french judge's decision at the request of the man's parents. that ruling by the european court of human rights has been echoed in separate cases in the u.k., where assisted suicide carries a jail sentence of up to 40 years. >> the london supreme court has ruled against appeals from a paralyzed car crash victim, the widow of a man with an so-called locked in syndrome. the uk's highest court turned down the appeals, though not unanimously. >> by majority of 7-2, we dismiss the appeal. >> a bitter disappointment for plaintiff hall lamb. he has been in constant pain since a car accident left him paralyzed from the neck down 23 years ago. >> they're telling me i have 10 years of suffering. i haven't committed a crime. i'm now

something unusual had happened at one hospital and some people disagree with what they perceived as euthanasiaastening the death so i heard about that and because of my background is in the madison i was volunteering i heard about of four hospital in bosnia in to hear this may have happened if i have never heard exactly the story i felt to know more about it and the of basic part is what happened and what do we need to take from that? >>. >> i convinced them it was online. [laughter] but this is the disturbing things that one away ill or another amount of institutional support and in my case i had written about environmental issues there were very interested in breast cancer patterns it disturb them greatly they want to know what that meant and what the causes may be. in to understand it myself i felt i did not explain it well enough. i heard about this case but then to go down there a few times but once they knew about it i resolved if i ever got the chance it is deeper than the work that this is an amazing way to get at the bigger story it is an extraordinary cast of characters. it was of a
