...says specialists in at least three French hospitals offered Sébire an operation with a relatively good chance of success - upwards of 70% full success in most cases - though they couldn't promise no potential risk of death or incapacity, which Sébire would simply not accept. When she subsequently refused the treatment and medicine he and the other doctors had been recommending, Béal recalls Sébire explaining to him that "drugs are chemicals, chemicals are poison, and I won't make matters worse by poisoning myself." In the end, however, Sébire...
