French President Emmanuel Macron has asked the government and parliament to work together on drafting a bill on the issue of end-of-life care that includes the possibility of assisted dying, as well as a 10-year national plan to improve palliative care.
Monday’s announcement came after Macron met with members of a randomly appointed citizens' convention who have spent the past three months working to decide if existing legislation concerning the end of human life is adapted to real situations.
