Quick Glance: Macron announces bill for assisted dying
- France could become the next European country to legalize euthanasia for the terminally ill, following a lengthy consultation with a committee of French citizens on 'active assistance to dying'.
- Only adults with full control of their judgment, suffering from an incurable and life-threatening illness with unrelievable pain, will be able to 'ask to be helped to die,' Macron told La Croix and Liberation newspapers.
- The bill entails prescribing a lethal substance that the patient can administer themselves or with the assistance of a third party if unable to do so physically, ensuring the patient's decision is supported by medical professionals and meets clear criteria to avoid the terms assisted suicide or euthanasia.
