After years of debate, French MPs have voted to adopt a bill to establish a right to assisted dying for some adults suffering from an incurable condition.
French MPs voted on Wednesday to adopt a law allowing the right to assisted dying for some terminally ill adults under strict rules.
ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTThe lower chamber backed the law, with 291 voting for it and 241 against. The country’s highest constitutional authority still has to examine the law.
With its adoption, France joins 11 countries that have also adopted assisted dying laws, each with their own rules and criteria.
