The French parliament has approved a new law legalizing assisted dying for adults suffering from incurable illnesses causing unbearable pain. The legislation follows years of intense debate and political maneuvering, finally resolving a long-standing ethical and legal controversy. To qualify, individuals must be of sound mind, over 18, and facing conditions deemed terminal with suffering that cannot be relieved. The law includes provisions for palliative care and psychological support to ensure informed consent. Strict safeguards are in place, requiring multiple medical opinions and psychological evaluations. France joins a small number of countries offering this option, reflecting a shifting societal view on end-of-life choices. The bill has now been passed to the Constitutional Council for final review.
