France has passed a law on euthanasia for the terminally ill.

The French lower house has supported the euthanasia bill

The lower house of the French Parliament has passed a bill that allows euthanasia to end the lives of people with terminal illnesses. The bill was supported by 305 votes in favor and 199 against. The document will now be discussed in the upper house of Parliament.

According to the report, it will take time to make a final decision. Euthanasia will only be available to French citizens or permanent residents aged 18 and over. Medical personnel must confirm the terminal illness and inevitable pain to carry out euthanasia. However, this will not be available for individuals with mental and neurodegenerative diseases.

Discussion on euthanasia in France

Recently, the right to voluntary death by assisted suicide has been actively discussed in France. Euthanasia legislation is already in effect in Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Support for the euthanasia bill in the lower house of the French Parliament opens new opportunities for people with terminal illnesses. It is important to ensure the implementation of this right with compliance with all necessary conditions and restrictions to avoid potential abuses and moral issues.
