Daughter raising money to send mother to Dignitas clinic

A hairdresser from Llanelli is bidding to raise money to send her mother to die at Switzerland's Dignitas clinic.

Tara O'Reilly says her mother, who has motor neurone disease, wants to die with dignity and she is asking for help to fund the trip.

Ms O'Reilly says she needs £8,000 to help her mother Jackie Baker choose the time and method of her death.

It is an offence to encourage or assist a suicide or a suicide attempt in England and Wales.
