Marie Humbert: "inhumane to deny what Chantal"

Marie HumbertInterview - The battle to die with dignity conducted by Chantal Sébire, disfigured for life by an incurable disease, similar to that conducted by Marie Humbert for his son Vincent. The latter reflects on LCI.fr Marie Humbert France wants the "stop the hypocrisy" and "legislating" in this area, as has just done Luxembourg. Alexandra GUILLET - 28/02/2008 - 14h46 LCI.fr: In 2003, you helped your son quadriplegic, Vincent, to die. What inspires you the story of Chantal Sébire, disfigured by an incurable disease and scalable, and asked the head of State to help him leave with dignity by providing euthanasia? Marie Humbert: When I saw her testify on France 3, it has returned. It is a traumatized mother who no longer knows what to do. She does not want her three children help because she knows that it is too traumatic for them. It was exactly like Vincent requesting euthanasia to the president. But as for us, unfortunately, I think it will not give anything. Before contacting the media, with Vincent, we had waited for three long months for a response from the Elysée Palace. It should not be for human beings not to grant this lady what she wants. It's incredible. LCI.fr: Will you try to contact Chantal to help? Marie Humbert: I do that this morning returned to Guadeloupe. I went to see it now with my association "Should you busy." For two nights I think about what I could say to him. I will not tell him "Come fly with us and wait." It's impossible. "You can not tell someone to do this way or that way. Therefore it to find the solution on its own. LCI.fr: His doctor said he refused to act against the law, although his conscience commanded him to help her patient to die? Marie Humbert: Before the case of my son Vincent, the law was worse than today and Dr Chaussoy has still taken the risk to help him leave. I think this doctor could try to help, because it is treated at home. If you knew all the people who are assisting in the quiet. That is what is abominable. We need to hide, not to tell anybody. While these people ask just goes faster, surrounded by their families. LCI.fr: Luxembourg has just legalize euthanasia. In France, since your struggle, we Leonetti Act of 2005. We need to go further? Marie Humbert: Léonetti The law has not solved anything at all! It is only for people at the end of life. It proposes to stop all treatment and food. That means that after two days, many leave, but only after 7 days, there are those who are still not parties, which die slowly of starvation. If this law had existed time my son, never, oh never, I would have agreed to implement it! You know, all these stories whenever revive the debate, but every time the soufflé falls. And during that time, there are lots of people who are suffering. It is lamentable! It's going to be like abortion. France was one of the last countries in Europe to accept it. Euthanasia was legalized in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg. There are talks underway in Spain and Italy and many other European countries. France will still be the last. While this is not a political issue. Right or left, on s'en fout. Suffice it to be for the respect of human beings. If medicine can do nothing for us and we are tired of suffering, we should be able to choose to leave. Until recently, I have a lady who wrote to me to say that his son met with multiple sclerosis dramatically, came to commit suicide at the age of 36 without saying anything to anyone that nobody can be regarded as an accomplice. It's atrocious. That suggests how. We must stop the hypocrisy and legislate
