unusual facts about motor neurone disease



Rachel Hurst

Following the death of Diane Pretty, a sufferer of extreme motor neurone disease, who had unsuccessfully fought for a right for assisted death, Hurst said that it would be very wrong for justice to say in certain circumstances people can die ... It would be a slippery slope and many people who did not want to die could be affected.

Reginald C. Fuller

His friendship with Leonard Cheshire led to his editing a slender volume providing an insight into Cheshire's spiritual resources during his struggle with the effects of motor neurone disease, entitled Crossing the Finishing Line – Last Thoughts of Leonard Cheshire VC (1998, ISBN 0-85439-527-X, see pp. 7–14, 80).
