In Le Monde, Marie de Hennezel, psychologist and writer on tax returns Segolene Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy about the end of life. Both were in favor of a law on euthanasia citing "intolerable suffering appalling ..." people at the end of life.
Now, she says, laws intended to relieve the suffering of these people already exist. It should now "make a pedagogy of these laws, to explain to French texts that perfectly frame the end of life, and that if cases of intolerable suffering is reported to us, this shows that the law is not applied yet everywhere ".
She suggests that candidates are committed to enforce these best practices in end of life, are all hospital doctors and Liberal finance positions for psychologists and physicians to assist fund the accompanying leave under the Act of 9 June 1999.
Without these measures, she says, we have a 2-speed death. On the one hand, those who use palliative care where the end Life will be appeased. On the other hand, that which provides no alternative but to ask for death to relieve suffering. Questioning the two candidates, she asks them to put measures in place "concrete, urgent and imperative" to reduce inequality in access to palliative care.
However, she says, should be discussed on another topic: that of people who want to die and want to be helped to commit suicide. "What place are we willing to give to those who feel increasingly excluded from the community of the living and the desire death rather than life". How to respond to these sufferings that do not end of life?
Benedict XVI does he not say: "Above all, the Church desires to share a vision of human dignity which lies at the heart of all worthy human communication. "Seeing with the eyes of Christ and I can give to others much more than things that are outward necessities: I can give them the look of love which they crave" (Deus Caritas Est, n. 18) ".
