Locked-in syndrome' man to have right-to-die case heard
Tony Nicklinson, who is paralysed and wants a doctor to be able to lawfully end his life, should be allowed to proceed with his "right-to-die" case, a High Court judge has ruled.
The 58-year-old from Melksham, Wiltshire, has "locked-in syndrome" following a stroke in 2005 and is unable to carry out his own suicide.
His is seeking legal protection for any doctor who helps him end his life. The Ministry of Justice argues making such a ruling would change murder laws.
