In June 2005, Tony Nicklinson suffered a massive stroke, which left him with “Locked In Syndrome”, meaning he can think, hear and feel, but is completely paralysed, and can only communicate by blinking, or making slight head movements.
His family have been fighting for his right to be saved from his living hell, and to die with dignity, and now Tony is taking his case to the High Court to try and win the right to end his own life. His two daughters Lauren and Beth, who support him 100%, are here to tell us why they want their dad to die.
