Dániel Karsai suffers from ALS, a terminal illness. The constitutional lawyer went public with his condition last fall in a bid to have active euthanasia legalised in Hungary and has even filed a case with the ECHR in Strasbourg.
Although Hungarian law is not likely to change any time soon, Dániel Karsai considers the results of his fight for the legalization of euthanasia a great success. He believes that his efforts have helped make the subject a public matter in Hungary, which has led to a wide section of society being open to thinking about it. We interviewed the terminally ill constitutional lawyer whose words are now barely intelligible in his home.
