The right to die of a high quadriplegic in a developing country: case report.
In the north of Thailand a 21-year-old patient with a complete quadriplegia at C4 level with respiratory insufficiency was treated, including assisted respiration. The patient felt that living held nothing for him and therefore he requested at his own free will to go home and die.
