A former builder from Leeds, who today lost his fight to change the | :00:07. | :00:12. | |

Paul Lamb was paralysed in ` car crash and is in constant pahn. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
He wanted doctors to be allowed to help him end his life. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
But although the Supreme Court ruled agahnst him, | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
it did urge parliament to examine the law, as Spencer Stokes reports. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
Should a doctor be allowed to help Paul Lamb take his own life | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
24 years ago, the former buhlder was paralysed from the neck down. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
He fears that the day will come when his life is no longer worth living. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Since last year, he's been fighting a legal battle to have the ban on | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The Supreme Court began hearing the case last December, | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
and today seven out of nine judges rejected the appeal. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
I don't deserve to be punished like this. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
I'm now at the stage where there is anger with me because it is | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
But many doctors are extremdly uneasy about any change to | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
the assisted suicide law, and they have welcomed today's ruling. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
The Supreme Court have made the correct decision and it's in | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
This is clearly a very diffhcult and emotive area, | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
If the line in the sand movds, and it's a massive change to | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
the criminal law, then people could become coerced, encouraged to think | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
If they are seen as a burden, as costing too much money. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |

of people who've gone for assisted suicide have said that they've done | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
It now seems this will becole a matter for MPs to decide on, | :01:54. | :02:03. | |

politicians to give the fin`l ruling on the right to die. Previots court | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
rulings have maintained that assisted suicide is a matter for | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Parliament, but today's Supreme Court jtdgement | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
goes a step further, suggesting that MPs tackle this thorny issud. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
