France rejected the right-to-die plea of Chantal Sebire, a 52-year-old former schoolteacher who is suffering from Esthesioneuroblastoma, an extremely rare form of incurable cancer in the nasal cavity. This cancer gave her face tumour that disfigured her face.

She suffers from an extremely rare form of cancer in the nasal cavity known as an esthesioneuroblastoma. Only 200 cases of the disease have been recorded worldwide in the past two decades. Appealing on French television last month for the right to die, Ms Sebire said she could no longer see properly, taste or smell. She described how children ran away from her in the street. "One would not allow an animal to go through what I have endured," she said.
