It is basically about a 58 year old man who suffers from locked-in syndrome following a stroke in 2005.
He wants to end the suffering he faces daily and so does his family yet they are unable to because of the current laws against it.
They are still campaigning for his right to die

I really hope that the government see sense soon.
He died around August, after they stated that he could not have anyone help him die, and that they would still be convicted if they did so, he refused food which rapidly lowered his immune system until he contracted pneumonia and died.
