Essais Et Documents Une histoire à tenir debout

"Let me die so I can be free of my suffering", wrote Rémy Salvat in a letter to the President of France in 2008. Today, two years after his suicide, his mother has written a magnificent tribute to her son.Rémy was an unlucky victim of a rare mitochondrial illness.
