Rest in Peace, Chantal Sebire

I'm glad she had the control over her future as she wanted. I've been following this case for the past few months

Wow. That was pretty scary having something growing out of her face. Shame that she passed away.

I am hoping that she did euthanase, in that case, because it will show the courts and the government that people have a right to die, just as much as they have a right to life.

Yikes, I hadn't heard about this. I know it's hard for law and political types to objectively draw the line and say, "You can only ask to end your life if you meet the following condition(s): _______." because you don't want folks who might genuinely get better to make a decision that they can't take back. But this is surely one of those cases where she was suffering to such an extreme that I can't see how anyone would say she couldn't have what she wanted.

Rest in peace.
I've been following this story too, how fucking horrible they wouldn't allow her euthanasia.

Shit, that's awful. I hadn't heard about this before, but I hope it will spark some intelligent debate about euthanasia. I'm glad her suffering is over now, at least.
