80-year-old Maureen Smith's suicide due to trigeminal neuralgia sparks UK campaign for assisted dying legislation.

Maureen Smith, 80, took her own life due to severe pain from trigeminal neuralgia, highlighting the need for legal changes in assisted dying in the UK. Her son, George, is campaigning for new legislation that would allow individuals with incurable suffering to die peacefully with loved ones. While some oppose the change due to concerns about potential coercion of vulnerable groups, supporters argue for the right to choose. The proposed bill is set for discussion in Parliament soon.
