Description

A family from Devon is fighting for the right to give a lethal injection to their severely ill two-year-old son. Jim and Bronwen Stewart say they want to save their son Ian from a horrible, drawn out death. He was born with a rare heart condition and an operation last year left him both brain damaged and deaf. Ian’s mother Bronwen explains what she and her husband really want.
