Suicide clinic pair 'attention seekers'
Mr [Jennifer Stokes], 59, a retired carpenter, suffered from severe epilepsy and depression and his wife, 53, had chronic back pain and diabetes. The couple had made several suicide attempts but their family was unaware that they planned to travel to the clinic from the residential home in Leighton Buzzard, Beds, where they lived. They travelled to Zurich on March 31 last year. A Dignitas doctor had already assessed Mr Stokes as meeting the requirements for an assisted suicide, and after an examination it was agreed that his wife could die with him.
Couple who died after suicide clinic visit `not terminally ill
[Robert Stokes] and Jennifer Stokes both had a history of mental illness and failed suicide attempts and were in constant pain from chronic diseases but were not considered to be dying. Despite this, doctors at the Zurich-based Dignitas clinic supplied them with a lethal drugs overdose after agreeing they should be allowed to commit suicide. Mr Stokes, 59, and his wife, 53, died in each other's arms on a bed in the clinic's \"death room\" in March last year. The case raises serious concerns about so-called \"suicide tourism\" and the way in which Dignitas helps people to take their own lives. Under Swiss law, assisted suicide is only a crime if those providing the help can be shown to have acted out of self- interest. But patients must have a terminal illness and be of sound judgement. Mr and Mrs Stokes did not appear to fulfil either criterion. The case has sparked an inquiry by the Swiss authorities and the proposals for tougher regulations on the way assisted suicide is tolerated. Members of Dignitas are supposed to be assessed at the clinic to confirm that they are terminally ill and have made a rational decision to die.
Lasting memories of a final holiday
Robert and Jennifer Stokes took an \"assisted\" overdose of barbiturates in the Zurich clinic founded by a registered charity and medical facility called Dignitas, having flown there from England. \"For pound stg. 56 [$A150] anyone can sign up for Dignitas. Then it is simply a matter of going to Zurich,\" he said. Dignitas was started by Swiss lawyer Ludwig Minelli because as a 14-year-old he witnessed the painful death of his grandmother from kidney failure.
Tepid turnout on hot afternoon
\"It's hard to eat pancakes when it's that hot, you know what I'm saying,\" she said. \"We were jam-packed; that was awesome,\" [Jennifer Stokes] said of the Friday night crowd. \"This place, you could hardly walk.\" \"One of those things you take a chance on,\" he said. \"Any business is a gamble.\"

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
* Stacy Stevens, Culver girls basketball: Stevens tallied 55 points, 12 steals and 10 assists in two Cavalier games. The 5-2 freshman guard, who is averaging almost 20 ppg., hit the game- winning shot in a 51-49 win at North Miami.
Page, Stokes inspire struggling Lions
Most of the team members were still in the gym working on individual skills, but two of them stood out. While LaTieka Page continuously planted her feet outside the 3-point arc, Jennifer Stokes stationed herself in the paint. So what stokes Stokes and what makes LaTieka tick? Understanding their roles is a big part of it. Page has hit 31 percent of her 3-pointers this season and 47 percent overall from the floor to lead the Lions in scoring. Stokes' statistics back up her contention about working inside: Almost 25 percent of her points come from the foul line and she leads the team in rebounding with nine per game.
Pair escape drowning as van sinks
Mrs [Margaret Coyle], of Cambridge, believes the van \"aquaplaned\" across the water before driving through a post and rail fence near the bridge. It then rolled down a bank several times before landing in the river. The van, owned by Livestock Improvement, was carrying bull semen samples, which Mrs Coyle was delivering to technicians. But liquid nitrogen from the containers filled the van, making it impossible to see. Mrs Coyle said the van began filling with water almost as soon as it landed in the river but she and her daughter were able to get their seatbelts off.

Euthanasia for British couple with non-terminal illness
A British couple have been helped to commit suicide by a Swiss euthanasia group even though they were not suffering from terminal illness. Robert Stokes, 59, and his wife, Jennifer, 53, flew to Zurich at the end of March, where they drank the poison pentobarbital sodium, say Swiss police. The couple, from Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, were assisted to commit suicide by Dignitas, the Swiss organisation that has aided the deaths of more than 100 people from around the world. After Mrs Stokes damaged her back in a fall, the couple sold their house in Dunstable and retired to a warden-controlled block of flats for the elderly in Leighton Buzzard.
