Brian Pretty (R) kisses his wife Dianne after they won the first round
of a High Court battle to have the right for Pretty to assist his wife
to die with dignity in London August 31, 2001. The court ruled that
they have an arguable challenge to the stance of the director of public
prosecutions, who has refused to offer immunity from prosecution to
Brian Pretty if he helps his wife to die REUTERS/Dan Chung
