<p>In 2017, Connie Yates and Chris Gard were involved in a best interests case that concerned their son: Charlie Matthew William Gard who was born with a rare genetic disorder which has no proven treatment. The parents initially wanted to try experimental treatment in the United States. After Charlie’s condition deteriorated, however, the NHS determined that further treatment was futile.</p>

<p>However, the Assisted Dying Coalition, a coalition of organisations campaigning for the legalisation of assisted dying (in certain situations) suggests that legalisation of assisted dying is the best way to tackle this issue. The Coalition is formed of the following organisations: <em>End of Life Choices Jersey</em>, <em>Friends at the End</em>, <em>Humanist Society Scotland</em>, <em>Humanists UK</em> and <em>My Death, My Decision</em>.</p>
