Chantal Sebire’s Autopsy Inconclusive
by Jessica Doyle
The autopsy conducted on Chantal Sebire – who was found dead Wednesday after she sparked an international debate on euthanasia – has failed to give a cause of death; it is being reported by a cable news network.
Sebire, 52, suffered from disfiguring facial tumors and begged for the right to die. A Dijon, France prosecutor said Friday it is still unclear whether Sebire died of natural or unnatural causes.

that’s pretty sad. i hope she went peacefully.
If it were an animal suffering from a severe illness people would say to put it to sleep because it was the humane thing to do. However, why must a human suffer such as this woman because people are unwilling to do the “humane” thing and let them die with dignity so their suffering may end. I hope that if I’m ever in a serious accident or suffer a debilitating illness so that I can’t function normally that no other human will ever be able to deny me the right to go to a better place where my suffering will be over. I’ll do what it takes to prevent another human from doing that to me.
