Brian Verity

Brian Verity lived through the trauma of finding he had married into a family whose members all carried the gene for Huntington’s disease and who suffered accordingly―as he did, for other reasons. It became his mission to mitigatethe consequences of their condition and educate the public about its horrors. Following his wife’s suicide, he was questioned at length by the police and kept under surveillance for a year. He went on to campaign for voluntary euthanasia. He died in 2019.
