I painted this while I was sick, and the end result isn't exactly what I was trying for, but as a painting I imagine it isn't all that bad. The auction ends later today (Holy Saturday, 2009.) Right now the current bid is $1 dollar with eleven hours to go-

Chantal Sebire French Euthanasia Before/After Portrait - Ebay Auction
Chantal Sébire, a French woman who suffered from a painful and disfiguring nasal tumor, was recently denied her request before a court in Dijon for the right to doctor-assisted suicide. In my cartoon she says to my Neverborn character (the soul of an aborted child become an angel) "Thank you for releasing me, little one. Now I am finally free!"

Faithmouse is a long-running independent Catholic/Christian editorial cartoon. It started eight years ago as a very conservative political cartoon, but now features a cast of continuing characters representing both conservative and liberal viewpoints. Some of the cartoons employ direct sexual analogies and do not appear on this web site. You can find these adult-content cartoons on sites such as Something Awful (Faithmouse Megathread, currently with 480 votes and a 4.94 gold rating), Portal Of Evil (the Faithmouse forum, 2593 comments), Hipinion (search 'Faith Mouse') and Ilxor (currently active is the 'Dan Lacey bandwidth-abuse thread'.)
What does one say? Poor woman, I could understand why she felt that way, yet it does not make suicide right, even here.
