STRASBOURG, France: The European Court of Human Rights said Thursday that it had rejected an appeal by a French doctor to be reinstated after he was barred from practising for killing terminally-ill patients, a crime for which he was convicted in 2015.
Yet Bonnemaison argued that France's Medical Council had disbarred him in 2012 over the alleged ethical breaches, even before his first trial in 2014, which saw him acquitted on all counts. In its ruling, the court rejected all of Bonnemaison's claims, saying it had found no evidence to suggest bias by the disciplinary council.Euthanasia is illegal in France despite several efforts in recent years to allow doctors to consider it for the terminally ill.
The legal troubles also took a toll on Bonnemaison, who attempted to commit suicide a few days after his 2015 conviction on appeal.
