A prostitute for a disabled man in hospice care

A 22-year old requests a prostitute and a controversy is touched off:

Nick Wallis, 22, who suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, persuaded staff at Douglas House, in Oxford, that he should be allowed to experience sex before he died, even if it meant paying a prostitute.

The case posed a major moral dilemma for Sister Frances Dominica, the founder of Douglas House, and its ethics committee.

The decision was taken to support Mr Wallis and hospice nurse Chris Bloor helped him find a suitable woman over the Internet.
