Euthanasia in Belgium an 'escape route' for paralysed French woman
- last year
As France wrestles with the end of life question, some of its citizens are going directly to Belgium to request euthanasia.
One of them is Lydie Imhoff, a 43-year-old French woman, hemiplegic -- or paralysed on one side of her body -- from birth. Also visually impaired and losing the use of her limbs, Lydie travelled to Brussels to meet Marc Reisinger, a psychiatrist who could validate her request for assisted suicide.
