A Spanish court has extended a legal saga over a young paraplegic woman's euthanasia bid, saying Friday that she could seek to end her life but backing her father's right to appeal. Spain is one of few countries to legalise euthanasia thanks to a 2021 law that comes with strict requirements.

But the court also recognised "the entitlement of the parents of a person who asks to end their life to legally challenge the decision". Her case was the first in Spain to reach a court for a judge to decide since the 2021 euthanasia law was passed.
