Tony Nicklinson euthanasia: 'My life is miserable and undignified' says locked-in syndrome sufferer A man who is physically unable to commit suicide yesterday took his 'right-to-die' case to the High Court. A stroke in 2005 left Tony Nicklinson with 'locked-in syndrome' – mentally sound but paralysed from the neck down and unable to speak. At the High Court in London, he described his existence as 'dull, miserable, demeaning, undignified and intolerable' as he began his landmark case that challenges the law on murder. Court plea: Tony Nicklinson, 58, pictured with his wife Jane, suffers from 'locked-in' syndrome. His case will be heard at the High Court today He wants the three judges to rule that if, and when, he decides he wants to die, a doctor will be immune from prosecution if they help him. Mr Nicklinson, 58, who communicates by blinking or with limited head movement, described having no 'privacy or dignity left' and said his right to choose life or death had been taken away, And a recent Twitter campaign urging him to live has only reinforced his resolve.

Interactive Polygons Play with a polygon! Try adding or subtracting points. See different polygons from triangles up. See the lengths, angles and coordinates, too. Regular Pentagon Area = 21.398771616641 Zoom: © 2016 MathsIsFun.com v0.882 Edit Use the "Edit" button to manually edit the coordinates, or to enter new coordinates of your own. When all angles are equal and all sides are equal it is regular, otherwise it is irregular When any internal angle is greater than 180° (it points inwards) then it is concave. And a complex polygon intersects itself (the boundary crosses over), otherwise it is simple (like most polygons we deal with).
