Should a paralysed person have the right to die?

BBC News - Hardtalk - Should a paralysed person have the right to die?: Tony Nicklinson isn't terminally ill, he is in terminal despair. Since he suffered a massive stroke six years ago he has been paralysed. The only movement he can control is in his eyes and his blinking. His unimpaired brain - his conscious self - is locked inside a body beyond his command. Tony wants from life one thing above all else - the right to die. To be more precise he is fighting for the right to be lawfully killed.
