This article was published on Wesley Smith's blog on June 16, 2015.By Wesley Smith Sigh. If the euthanasia pushers can't get people dead one way, they try another.The French Senate is debating legalizing terminal sedation for the terminally ill who want it. From the Yahoo story:France's debate over end-of-life care goes to the Senate, with a bill that would allow doctors to keep terminally ill patients sedated until death comes, but stops short of legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide. Euthanasia is currently legal in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, and recent polls show a large majority of French people favor legalization. But French lawmakers haven't been willing to go quite that far, in a debate that is arising at the same time as the wrenching family dispute surrounding Vincent Lambert, a Frenchman in a coma since a car accident seven years ago.

Dr Kevin Fitzpatrick OBE, is the director of EPC International and lives near Avignon France. Article first appeared on Alex Schadenberg's blog. France is in danger of buying a deadly illusion: that terminal sedation is neither assisted suicide nor euthanasia.

We have been warning about the steep rise in the use of terminal sedation in the Netherlands, as a form of 'back-door' euthanasia. Continue reading

The Strasbourg-based court said in a statement the case would be treated "according to the fastest procedure possible". A spokesman there acknowledged that even emergency procedures can take months or up to one or two years. Continue reading
