Tony Nicklinson deserves sympathy but hard cases make bad law | NRL News Today: Tony Nicklinson, 57, is paralysed from the neck down after suffering a stroke in 2005. He cannot speak or move anything except his head and eyes and communicates through nodding his head at letters on a perspex board or by using a computer which responds to eye movements.
The Melksham man sums up his life as ‘dull, miserable, demeaning, undignified and intolerable.’ His lawyers want a doctor actively ending his life to have a ‘common law defence of necessity’ against any possible murder charge.
