French MPs Approve Assisted-Dying Law with Strict Regulations After Years of Debate

French MPs have approved a law permitting assisted dying under strict conditions for adults with a serious and incurable illness in advanced or terminal stages. The bill, which passed with a vote of 291 to 241, requires patients to make a voluntary request, with a 15-day consultation period before administering a lethal substance, possibly by a doctor or nurse if the patient cannot do so. The measure now goes to France’s Constitutional Council for review before it can become law, amid ongoing political debate and opposition from the Catholic Church and parts of the medical community.
