'Locked in syndrome' man asks court to let doctors help him die

'Locked in syndrome' man asks court to let doctors help him die - Telegraph: The man, known for legal reasons only as Martin, suffered a severe stroke three years ago, which left him unable to move. His only method of communication is by using his eyes.
In a highly unusual case, he wants to clarify the law so that medical staff or solicitors who help him to end his life will not be prosecuted. Assisting a suicide carries a potential 14-year jail sentence in the UK.
