China Daily | Updated: 2009-02-04 07:45

A woman at the center of Italy's right-to-die debate was transferred yesterday to a hospital where she is to be allowed to die after 17 years in a vegetative state.

Eluana Englaro was moved to the northeastern city of Udine overnight, said family lawyer Vittorio Angiolini.

A small crowd of anti-euthanasia activists gathered outside the clinic in Lecco, where she had been cared for, seeking to prevent the ambulance from leaving, TV footage showed. Some were shouting "Eluana, Wake Up!"
