Case of locked-in syndrome seeks to establish dangerous precedent | NRL News Today: Legal action brought by a locked-in syndrome sufferer, who wants a doctor to be able to end his ‘intolerable’ life lawfully, can go ahead following a judge’s ruling Monday. The Ministry of Justice had previously argued that the case should be struck out on the grounds that it is a matter for parliament, rather than the courts, to decide. But the judge’s ruling today means that Mr. Nicklinson’s case will go to a full hearing, where medical evidence can be heard.
