Daniel James, 23, who played for England schoolboys had travelled to a euthanasia clinic last month with his parents, Mark and Julie.
The student was left paralysed from the chest down after his spine was dislocated when a scrum collapsed during training with Nuneaton Rugby Club in March 2007.
Shocking.

Its sad, but it was his choice to do it and I guess it must've pushed him into a point where he couldn't be persuaded out of it... Sad, really sad.

no more Gears of War for him
RIP Dan

How much longer will people like this be forced to go to Switzerland to die? It's about time it was allowed here.

No more Call of Duty
That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cause we consider these minutes golden.

Yes there should be some system here where you can have "assisted suicide" but only for the terminally ill. Being paralised shouldn't be assisted in the UK.
