Sir, – The verdict of the Supreme Court on Marie Fleming’s case (Breaking News, April 29th) brings mixed emotions. Although at one level I think we all believe the upsetting reality of Ms Fleming’s situation merits the conclusion she sought, on another level and what is possibly a more upsetting reality is the knowledge that such a precedent could see the weakest and most vulnerable in these situations abused, as has occurred in our past.
I would hope that in the future the above possibility becomes non-existent and that our citizens in these very personal and tragic positions receive the respectful support and help that they truly deserve! – Yours, etc,
