High Court Hears Of Right-To-Die Man's Misery

Tony Nicklinson veut avoir le droit de mettre fin à sa vie à un moment de son choix. S'il gagne, il peut choisir de vivre pendant un temps indéterminé avec le confort de savoir qu'il peut mettre fin à sa vie paisiblement sur ses propres termes. Il sera donc jouir d'un privilège ne bénéficient pas à tous.
Il a un bon esprit et peut-être une célébrité dans le futur. Il a dit ''I get angry when I'm told how to live my life by a faith that I don't believe in'.
Il est un libre penseur. L'éthique religieuse sont sa douleur dans le cul.

I can't understand either.

Comment by Napoleon Bonaparte on August 17, 2012 at 5:40pm: Britain's High Court has rejected an attempt by a man who has locked-in syndrome to overturn the country's euthanasia law by refusing to legally allow doctors to end his life.

Tony Nicklinson had a stroke in 2005 that left him unable to speak or move below his neck. He requires constant care and communicates mostly by blinking, although his mind has remained unaffected and his condition is not terminal.

In January, the 58-year-old asked the High Court to declare that any doctor who kills him with his consent will not be charged with murder.

Judges told Nicklinson that the decision to allow him to die was a matter for the British parliament to decide.

Nicklinson, who did not take the news well, said he will appeal the decision.

A paralysed man with a fully-functioning mind says he is “devastated” after losing a right-to-die case in Britain.

Tony Nicklinson, 58, from Wiltshire in southwest England has locked-in syndrome after a stroke seven years ago and needs a computer to communicate.

The High Court said it would not grant immunity from prosecution to any doctors who might help end his life.

Comment by Napoleon Bonaparte on June 25, 2012 at 5:45pm: @Idaho Spud, I think I know what you mean about jumping the hoops. Tony Nicholson will have that right to peacefully terminate his life at a time of his choosing, should he win his court case. The outcome of his case, if favourable, would set a precedent in England and an example for the U.S, I think.

Comment by Idaho Spud on June 25, 2012 at 3:21pm: For many years now, I've been of the opinion that we should have that right, without having to jump through many hoops. I started thinking that way even as a religious believer.

Comment by Napoleon Bonaparte on June 25, 2012 at 2:59pm: Tony Nicklinson is asking for the right to terminate his life at a time of his choosing. If he wins his case he might decide to kick on for an indefinate time with the comfort of knowing that he can end his life peacefully on his own terms. He will be privileged.

He has a good mind and may be in demand in the future. At least then he can leave something to the wife and family.
