Woman’s death reignites French euthanasia debate
March 21st, 2008Time magazine, BBC, [UK] Telegraph:
Just two days after a French court rejected her request for doctor-assisted suicide, 52-year-old Chantale Sebire was found dead in her home this week. Sebire had argued that a rare and painful facial tumor had made her life unbearable. An initial investigation concluded that she had died from something other than natural causes.
Sebire’s death stirred debate over French laws prohibiting euthanasia for people with terminal diseases.
