The news that Tony Nicklinson has died of natural causes after his long campaign to have himself voluntarily put to sleep is, in the most charitable sense of the word, a good thing for all concerned.
The debate about euthanasia will rage on, and I must admit I've occasionally felt my sympathies towards that movement (why we put down animals when they're in agony and not humans is a mystery to me), but looking at it from all sides, his case would be the first of many dangerous precedents, if his plea to commit suicide had been allowed in the courts.
