Abstract
Suffering from lateral amyotrophic sclerosis, a degenerative disease of the muscular system, Mrs. Gabrielle Beaulieu died at her home on September lltn, 1980. Medical science was powerless to stop the progression of a still little understood disease which left an astonishingly lucid spirit at the mercy of a body made more and more useless. In spite of the expectations of the medical world and of the family, recommending hospitalization, it was within the familiar confines of their home that the family members decided to live with the progression of the disease, refusing "extraordinary measures", to the last. One year later, as part of a sociology course, one family member retraces thé social difficulties which this refusal of technology introduced, a technology which could offer but "a semblance of life". In a text which takes the form of a personal testimony, the author denounces a society which does not know how to die, and affirms that what society stimagtized as a choice in favour of death was, in fact, a choice for life.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
