“Disabled man’s bid to end his life with ‘dignity’ is ‘not for the courts to decide'”

Tony Nicklinson from Melksham, Wiltshire, is asking senior judges to declare that anyone who intervenes to end his life with “dignity” would not be charged with a crime….His lawyer, Saimo Chahal, said, “We are saying there should be a defence to the law of murder and want a declaration that it would be lawful for a doctor to administer a lethal drug to terminate Mr. Nicklinson’s life.”
