Degree for teenager who once wanted right to die

-

A schoolgirl who went to court to claim her right to die only to change her mind has celebrated her university graduation.

Hannah Jones was 13 when, left drained by debilitati­ng surgery to cure a fatal heart condition, she refused to have a transplant. She told the High Court she would rather die than undergo more hospital trauma. She made history by fending off a legal bid by medics to force her to have treatment. However, aged 14, she changed her mind.

She has now just celebrated achieving a degree in English and drama from Aberystwyt­h University.
