Quadriplegic Man Reportedly ‘Cried’ When Told France Has Ordered Him to Be Starved to Death
Live Action ^ | 7/2/19 | Laura Nicole

France’s highest appeals court has ordered Vincent Lambert’s food to be removed following a six-year-long legal battle for his life.

The 42-year-old nurse, now in a hospital in Reims, suffered an accident in 2008 which left him quadriplegic and with extensive brain damage. He is described by some as “semi-conscious,” and by others as being “in a vegetative state.” Vincent can sleep and wake up, respond to some voices, can swallow, and breathe on his own. He is not dependent on machines to live, but he is dependent on nutrition and hydration being delivered in a special manner, like many people.

The Court of Cassation’s final ruling means that Lambert, who is not otherwise ill or at the end of his life, would be removed from food and water and left to die slowly, which can take 14 days or more. The decision cannot be appealed in France, but his parents are fighting the order and have threatened to press charges for murder if his food is removed. However, Vincent’s wife and six of his eight siblings believe he should be forced to die.

Horrible.

I would like to see those who made this decision and created this order starved to death. See how they like it.

It seems his parents are still alive.

Maybe they could start a fundraiser and take the poor man out of France, to another EU country.

That is what the new dems are trying to get for all American’s ‘insurance’. They kill babies at birth.. the elderly and handicap are next if they get what they want. first: you can’t buy insurance yourself.. there will be none.
Second: they have complete control and decide what where how and who.

This is horrifying, absolutely horrifying. Does this guy have money his stinking siblings hope to inherit? I hope they all fall down into a crocodile pit and we can laugh as they get devoured.

And they asked me why I / we felt the Terri Schiavo case was so important.

"Judge Haywood... the reason I asked you to come: Those people, those millions of people... I never knew it would come to that. You must believe it, you must believe it!"

"Herr Janning, it 'came to that' the first time you sentenced a man to death you knew to be innocent."

Sadistic death loving ghouls. Heartless cretins with dark souls.

I had the same thought, but remembered little Alfie Evans. His parents had a hospital in Italy all ready to take him, but the Grand Poohbahs of socialized medicine in the UK sent guards to ensure he wouldn’t leave the hospital alive.

It's starting in America. A couple days ago there was a story here on FR about insurance companies wanting to deny cancer screening for older Americans. You know, "they've lived long enough; the sooner they die, the better …"

Can't have old people using health benefits that should rightfully be going to illegal aliens. </sarc>

There is no way this man is in a vegetative state. He moves his eyes in a manner that shows he fully comprehends what is being said. I have no doubt that he can be trained to communicate by eye movements using an eye tracking device and an alphabet board.

He is evidently obsolete. The Frogs seem to be taking a cue from the Krauts back around 1938. Grim stuff.

I understand that slow starvation is a very painful way to die.
