Re: A Duty To Die?
Quote:
A man paralysed from the neck down has lost his High Court case to allow doctors to end his life without fear of prosecution.
Tony Nicklinson, 58, from Melksham, Wiltshire, communicates by blinking and has described his life as a "living nightmare" since a stroke in 2005.

It is not for the court to decide whether the law about assisted dying should be changed and, if so, what safeguards should be put in place. "Under our system of government these are matters for Parliament to decide."

is it case for parliament or have the courts bottled it ?
