The case of Lecretia Seales may lead to major changes for New Zealand.
Lawyers for terminally-ill Wellington lawyer Lecretia Seales last week argued that a doctor should be allowed to help her die, without criminal prosecution.
As we await the High Court judge's decision, it has emerged Ms Seales may not live long enough to hear the outcome.
Her husband Matt Vickers posted
on his blog the condition of his wife, who has an inoperable brain tumour, had worsened and her whole body was paralysed.
"Lecretia's choice is imminent, and we don't know yet if she will get to make it," wrote Mr Vickers.
He said he did not know whether his wife would choose to die if the court ruled she could, "for Lecretia, it was always having the choice that mattered, not the choice itself".
