Leslie Burke, from Lancaster in Lancashire, leaves the High Court in central London. Leslie terminally ill with a degenerative brain condition today challenged the legality of "confused" guidelines that enable doctors to stop artificial feeding and allow patients to die. Leslie Burke, 44, of Mardale Road, Newton Estate, Lancaster, has cerebellar ataxia and fears that if his condition deteriorates, doctors could decide that his quality of life is so poor that he should not be kept alive.
