Philip Morris, 76, assisted his terminally ill wife Myra, 73, to self-administer a fatal dose of pentobarbital in Switzerland. Despite assisting in her death, a judge ruled he could inherit part of her estate after determining the forfeiture rule should not apply to their case.
Mr Justice Trower acknowledged that Philip Morris sacrificed his own happiness for his wife's wishes, emphasizing that his actions were driven by love and respect. This case shines a light on the moral complexities surrounding assisted dying laws, particularly in the UK.
