French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a groundbreaking new legislation that will legalize 'aid in dying' for adults facing end-of-life illnesses in the country. This move comes in response to a report from last year showing strong support among French citizens for legalizing end-of-life options.
In an interview with French newspapers, Macron revealed that the new bill will allow adults suffering from incurable illnesses and experiencing 'intractable' physical or psychological pain to access lethal medication. The law will be limited to those expected to die in the short or middle-term.
