Locked-in syndrome case goes even beyond assisted suicide and seeks to establish dangerous precedent | NRL News Today: A case of ‘locked-in syndrome’ that is appearing before the courts tomorrow goes even beyond assisted suicide and seeks to introduce euthanasia through the back door.
Tony Nicklinson is 58 and paralysed from the neck down after suffering a stroke in 2005. He is seeking legal permission for a doctor actively to end his life.
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. However the case has been allowed to go forward to a High Court hearing.
