Oh my...what a story! He said all of that through blinking! I just listened this AM to Joni Erickson Tada who has been a quadriplegic since a diving accident at age 17. She is married but unable to have children. Now she is battling breast cancer. I can't begin to imagine the strength that she displays daily. Really made me ashamed of my small worries in life.

| A British man paralyzed from the neck down is suing to find out whether his wife would face prosecution if she killed him.
Tony Nicklinson suffered a catastrophic stroke in June 2005 and can only communicate by moving his eyes, blinking and nodding.
In a witness statement provided to London's High Court Monday the 56-year-old said he was fed up with his life and wanted to die.
Nicklinson is unable to end his own life and wants to know whether his wife, Jane, faces prosecution for murder if she kills him.
Assisted suicide and mercy killing remain illegal in Britain, but attitudes have softened.
Last year British prosecutors unveiled new guidelines which effectively decriminalized many forms of assisted suicide.
