«Vincent Humbert: Le débat sur le droit de mourir» is Christophe Verselle's essay on euthanasia, in paperback (Librio, 93 pages, in French).
The essay starts from the case of Vincent Humbert, who after an accident in 2000 became tetraplegic, mute and nearly blind, and in 2002 asked the French president for the right to die. Christophe Verselle, a philosophy professor, examines from that testimony the ethical, legal and religious dimensions of euthanasia and includes extracts from Humbert's writing.
Work published in 2007 in the Librio Document collection; the Humbert case is at the origin of the French law on patients' rights.
For readers interested in philosophy and in social and legal debates on euthanasia.
