A High Court bid has been made by a severely-disabled father-of-two to let doctors end his life lawfully.

The sufferer is 57-year-old Tony Nicklinson and he suffers from 'locked-in syndrome' due to which paralysis has struck him from the neck down, and due to this condition that he thinks is intolerable, has launched court action to that doctors can legally end his life.

For seeking that doctors can lawfully end his life, Nicklinson is seeking declarations and states that he is doing so with his own wish and under no pressures.

On the other hand, Ministry of Justice lawyers state that if he is allowed what he wants then this will lead to the distortion of settled law which means that court action should be 'struck out'.

Nicklinson has two daughters who are grown ups and resides in Melksham, Wiltshirehad suffered from a stroke in 2005 and was left with 'locked-in syndrome'.

Ever since this happened, he has paralysed from the neck down and to communicate uses a perspex board and an Eye-Blink computer.

Nicklinson states that his life is a burden and is intolerable, undignified, miserable and dull.

Mr Perry said Mr Nicklinson 'is saying the court should positively authorise and permit as lawful the deliberate taking of his life'.
