UK: Another Locked-In Patient Seeks Death


Another Brit with locked-in syndrome seeks to be killed in the UK.
Locked-in man continues legal fight for 'right to die'
The wife of a man whose legal challenge was heard alongside Tony Nicklinson's has spoken of her husband's determination to continue his fight.
He wants professionals such as doctors to help him end his life, without them having the fear of prosecution.
The man, who can only be known as Martin, also has "locked-in" syndrome after a stroke four years ago.
Lawyers will hear in the next few weeks whether they are allowed a full hearing at the Court of Appeal.
Martin, 47, is seeking professional help - possibly resulting in a trip to the Swiss organisation Dignitas - to end his life. more
