The French parliament is to set to debate a bill on assisted dying in May. French President Emmanuel Macron said that the legislation proposed would allow doctors to prescribe a lethal substance to patients suffering from an incurable illness (not including neurodegenerative conditions).
Macron: “Strictly speaking, it does not create either a new right or a new freedom, but sets out a path that did not exist before, opening up the possibility of requesting assistance in dying under certain strict conditions.”
