NO RIGHT TO DIE.
sroBSOFBBWWMiB'™™. It was stated last mouth that there is every prospect of tho complete recovery of Mrs Harris, tho Now York woman who from her sick bed in the Audubon Hospital two months before issued a petition to the public to permit her to bo released from her intolerable sufferings by means of euthanasia (painless death at tlio hands of ft physician). ' Mrs. Harris's petition aroused a worldwide controversy as to the right of an invalid suffering from an inourablo disease to demand from her doctor that he should put her to death. She was then stated to be incurably paralysed. During tlio following six weeks Mrs. Harris was massaged daily, with the result that her toea and fingers recovered their power ot movement. Hor physician predicts that in a few months she will bo completely restored. Tho case, said Dr. Hasbrook, proves that legalised euthanasia could nover bo justifiable. ■
