Picture: Gareth Chaney/CollinsMarie Fleming took a High Court challenge in 2013 to change the law around assisted dying. Ms Phelan said she is supporting the bill because she believes people should have the choice to die in their own country. "I wouldn't like to do that because I want to die in my own country," she said. "People should have a choice," she said, referring to having the right to die.
