Unusually objective
France has a PVS situation parallel to the Terri Schiavo case here. The family involvement is identical. Lambert's wife wants to pull the plug, just as Terri's husband wanted to pull the plug. Lambert's parents want to keep him alive, just as Terri's parents did.
At this point a judge has ruled in favor of the parents, but we know the idiotic court fight isn't over.
The Sorosian media, both France24 and DW, are covering the case with unusual balance. DW is interviewing Terri's brother, asking appropriately hard questions but not squashing the answers as you'd expect.
I started this blog with the Schiavo case, so this is familiar ground. Since 2005, morality hasn't changed but the "scientific" "consensus" has changed. More medical "experts" are realizing that PVS isn't necessarily P or V. MRI scans are providing better insight, and more attention to similar cases shows that waking up is not uncommon.
Update 6/28:
Needless to say, the French black-robed demons have ruled in favor of death. Easiest bet in the world. Demons will always favor ETHICS.
