TOP5 4573 Fin de vie l Assemblee adopte definitivement la loi sur l aide a mourir

In France, the National Assembly has definitively adopted the law establishing a right to assisted dying, opening access, under certain conditions, to assisted suicide and, in some cases, to euthanasia. This legislation, passed after several months of parliamentary debate, strictly regulates eligibility criteria, the medical procedure, and safeguards for healthcare professionals, including a conscience clause. A major societal reform of the five-year presidential term, the law must now be reviewed by the Constitutional Council before it comes into effect.
