A right to die edge case: Ian Brady was jailed for life in 1966 after being convicted (with Myra Hindley) of “abducting, torturing and killing children.” He has no hope of parole and has been asking for some years that he be allowed to die. But (this is probably customary) the prison won’t allow it. So, three years ago he began a hunger strike; since then he’s been fed through a tube. Should he be allowed to die?
