“Facebook prevents me from streaming videos until September 8.” “Now it is your turn – wrote the 57-year-old, addressing his supporters – let us know what you think of the methods to obstruct freedom of expression.” These are the words of Alain Cocq, activist for a dignified end of life. Facebook has decided to stop broadcasting the death live. Cocq, also on social media said: “Our rules do not allow the transmission of suicide attempts live,” explained Facebook. During the night Cocq, who lives in Dijon, announced that he had suspended his treatments, nutrition and hydration to denounce the provisions in force in France on the end of life.
Euthanasia, wants to die live on Facebook: he had asked Macron in vain for a deep sedation
Alain Cocq, reconstruction
This is what happened yesterday in France. The last no, the most authoritarian, has also arrived. Emmanuel Macron, who confesses his impotence before the law, has rejected the desperate request of Alain Cocq, who has been nailed to bed for years by a very rare, degenerative and incurable disease. Alain wanted “to leave in peace, with dignity.” The law on the end of life does not foresee this and he, starting tomorrow morning, will stop feeding and taking care of himself, broadcasting his death live during an endless stream of 4 or 5 days on his Facebook page. Alain is 57 years old and often repeats that he has been “terminally ill for 34.” He suffers from an extremely rare disease for which there is no cure. The walls of your arteries narrow until they join, causing ischemia due to arrest or insufficient blood circulation in tissues and organs.
The words with which he describes his condition are very harsh: “My intestine empties into a bag. My bladder empties into a bag. They fill me up like a goose, with a tube in my stomach. If I have to stand here and stare at the ceiling like an idiot waiting for it to happen, I say no. And he has decided that his death, which will begin this afternoon at sunset, will become the way to “show the French what is the obligatory agony of the Leonetti law”, the legislation on the end of life. Alain Cocq, before writing to Macron, did his best to shout his despair to the world, also participating in several wheelchair tours of Europe. Macron responded that even a president “cannot be above the law.” The law passed in 2016 authorizes deep sedation, this would be Cocq’s request, but only for people with a “short-term” prognosis. He, on the other hand, cannot attest to being part of this category of patients, since his illness has lasted for years. At the entrance of the modest apartment in a very popular district of Dijon, in central France, Alain hung up his “certificate of denial of treatment”, ordering him not to give him any type of resuscitation: “Nine times he was resurrected – explains one of the leaders of the Association who supports the battle for a death “with dignity”, and each time a greater degeneration of his state has manifested. He no longer has hope, he is a prisoner of his body. “The objective of the action, he explains the responsible Sophie Medjeberg, is to cause an “electric shock” that pushes the approval of an assisted suicide law following the model of Belgium and Switzerland.
