Do you have an opinion on France's Vincent Lambert?
)
July 3rd, 2019
The doctor of Vincent Lambert, a quadriplegic Frenchman who has been in a vegetative state for more than 10 years, informed his family that his life support would be ended on Tuesday, according to Reuters, citing a family source.
In 2013, his doctors began to stop treatment with the support of his wife.
But his Catholic parents, along with his half brother and sister have been in a legal fight with his wife over the withdrawal of treatment.
On Monday, Lambert’s mother brought her case to the United Nations, seeking diplomatic pressure to keep her son on life support.
In May, the court of appeal of Paris ordered treatment to be resumed after doctors had begun halting life support, further prolonging the legal battle.
