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.
This is what every Dem candidate wants.
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.
Get out of France ASAP!
OMG!!! How can these people be SO VICIOUS TO A HELPLESS MAN?! DISGUSTING!!!!!
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.
Can't have old people using health benefits that should rightfully be going to illegal aliens. </sarc>
Great wife and siblings!
The Nazis won, rule France
so surprising from a regime that encourages immigrant rape.
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.
The NAZIs are back in France. And they’re French.
I understand that slow starvation is a very painful way to die.
Luckily there will be no death panels in the Progressive Medicare For All.../s/
