Updated on 11 November 2008

A terminally-ill teenager who won the legal right to die at home said she was "really shocked" when health bosses tried to force her to have a heart transplant against her wishes.

Officials used a court order to try to take Hannah Jones, 13, from her family and make her have surgery. She had been warned that the transplant might result in death.

But after Hannah insisted to child protection officers that she did not want the operation, High Court proceedings were abandoned and she will now spend her remaining time at home.
