Paralysed right-to-die activist ‘would be livid’ over lack of change to laws

Daughter of Tony Nicklinson, who died in 2012, says he would be frustrated by new bill's likely exclusion of those who are not terminally ill

The family of a paralysed right-to-die campaigner who was refused permission to have a doctor kill him has said he would be absolutely fuming" that the right-to-die laws have not changed in the 12 years since his death.

Tony Nicklinson's daughter, Lauren Peters, said he would also be frustrated that the assisted dying bill, which covers England and Wales and is due to be published this week, is unlikely to propose legalising assisted dying for people like him who are not terminally ill.
