3:19 am
a car crash left him in a vegetative state it comes after france's highest court said last month the doctors could remove the 42 year old feeding tubes number has since a motorbike accident back in 2008 but at the center of the right to die debate while the sneeze here is illegal in france doctors are allowed to put terminally ill patients into a deep state of sedation all that said of course vincent's mother along the way has been fighting to save his son's life. i beg you to intervene to remind france it's an obligation to respond to the precautionary measures prescribed by the comedian and not to kill my son the young my son is the life of oneself and 700 people who share this condition and that are threatened please help us. but vincent lambert's parents are now unable to appeal the decision to switch off his life support with more aware the story stands at the moment this week a maria from. this could be the end of a complicated contradictory and absolutely heartbreaking case which has lost more
3:20 am
than a decade in 2008 a traffic accident left vincent lumbered a french nurse in a vegetative state his brain was unresponsive his body was paralyzed he could only be fed and hydrated artificially after a 5 year battle for his life the battle for his death has started when numerous medical exams stated vinson's semiconscious condition was irreversible the question arose for the 1st time should be vincent continue receiving life support assistance or not it's not a question that is easy or simple to answer and it has divided instance family his wife and 6 of his siblings wanted to let him die peacefully as they put it this is not the life vincent himself would want to leave opposing them were his parents arguing that vincent is simply a person who does not fall under france's and of life legislation and that he
3:21 am
should leave when the 2 sides failed to reach an agreement to dish a marathon started that's resulted in vinson been off and back on life support 5 times after the ruling to stop artificial and tradition was confirmed by 5 different legal bodies including the european court for human rights we do rely on doctors of course and as a see vincent has been in this state for 10 years so his chances of recovery let's be perfectly honest with you a route how much does he understand what quality of life does he have would you wish this sort of life on your worst enemy never mind the loved one winces mother was never ready to give up at one point she even released a video clips of vincent's crying in attempt to show that he does feel and he is aware. but brain specialists say that this is not necessarily the case as far as
3:22 am
saying it's. not realizing what he's living. normally should storm is mostly. they have nothing to do with emotions several more times the mother has tried to persuade the public and legislators that vincent should leave however every time she appealed him being taken off life support the plug was pulled anyway if you know it's a crime that's all i am ashamed of france this monday been since mother made her very last plea she appeared at the un human rights council in geneva emotionally appealing for her son's life skills in rooms i'm sorry for being too emotional i'm crying knowledge of the top of my voice that this is the murder offense and that's the right word why are we not being listened to vincent is a human being he is not an object he's had has been held under water i agree to
3:23 am
come here in the hope that we might be able to defend him but despite all the efforts vincent was taken off of life support yet again the very next day. that's the end of this dispute there is no longer any plea that can be made it can suspend the discontinuation of care there is no longer any legal obstacle to the discontinuation of care and so that's the end of this legal case benson's stories truly heartbreaking and controversial in many ways the battle of 2 sides of one family both wishing the best for their loved one the mother says she was fighting against a system that she believes fails to protect its citizens but some point out there was an important lesson to bill learned from vincents case in an ideal world most of us or all of us should discuss death with our loved one. of course we don't and especially when you're young of course you don't think you ever going to die you
3:24 am
think you're going to live forever but you know the organization to which i belong friends at the end we urge people to make an advanced directive but it seems that regardless whether the man's and it's peaceful or not the fight is far from over he's parents and now preparing to press murder charges more for national party. farmers in the u.s. state of kentucky say that an increasing number of black vultures have been terrorizing their livestock they claim they start to lose as much as half a $1000000.00 in business as the number of predators continues to grow in video it is collected by locals the birds could be seen harassing a herd of cows the birds are said to have been preying on the most vulnerable of the animals. with a vulture it's like someone came in with a skinning knife they're very efficient at what they do it's all clean carts usually their hides completely cut off whereas with
