Chantal Sébire refuses a new medical advice

Sébire Chantal, a 52-year-old woman suffering from an incurable tumor in the face who wants for help to die, refused Friday to the proposal for a new medical opinion put forward by Nicolas Sarkozy and maintained it wanted an end , it was learned from his lawyer. According to Mr. Gilles Antonowicz, she explained that his state of health does not allow him a trip to Paris for a further consultation with leading experts on the disease, idea put forward by the Head of State, which Sébire Chantal wrote. "It is completely exhausted, she told me that she was suffering too. I do not believe that it is transportable," said Reuters Me Antonowicz. "I want to start by making the feast surrounded by my children, friends and doctors, before finally falling asleep at dawn," she said on RTL Friday. She favours changing legislative allowing active euthanasia. "Stop being hypocritical and think a change in the law will lead to more requests to die. Drifts, they were already, let us be clear. And these are not aberrations, each person accompanying someone in this approach landed on his alter-ego a gesture of love, "she added. Chantal Sébire believes that there is no other way than the death consented to end his suffering she says atrocious and those of her three children. She refused medical proposal which has already been made to stop the treatments, which cause death after several days of coma. It sticks to the request that a judge from Dijon to authorize the prescription and administration of a lethal substance, to be decided Monday. REJECTION OF THE APPLICATION REQUIRED The prosecutor in Dijon required the rejection of the application. Me Antonowicz admitted that it was asking a judge medical assisted suicide, the law impossible. "But the law should not be inhumane. There is not a lot of solutions. Either we accept their suffering, we choose the cessation of treatment, or we granted my request," he said. The judge, he said, can rely on the Public Health Code which refuses "any medical treatment unnecessary, disproportionate and whose sole purpose in maintaining artificial life." The lawyer also referred to the dismissal requested by the prosecutor's office for the benefit of Dr. Frederic Chaussoy, who had given their lives in a young quadriplegic Vincent Humbert in 2003. He was then referred to the concept of allowing the young man to keep his dignity. The Prime Minister, Francois Fillon and Minister of Justice, Rachida Dati said Thursday reject any reform and stick to the law Leonetti adopted in April 2005, that is capable of stopping treatment and administer medicines pain even if they pose a risk life, but not to end the life of patients. The case of Chantal Sébire revive old debate. Two European countries, Belgium and the Netherlands have legalized euthanasia active in the governing strictly. The law applies only in extreme cases, a few dozen a year. Switzerland allows assisted suicide, even for people who are not suffering from life-threatening diseases, which led an unusual "death tourism" in this country.
