French lawmakers on Wednesday adopted a bill that will create a legal right to assisted dying for adults with incurable illnesses, capping an intense ethical and political debate.
The legislation will, under strict conditions, allow a person who requests it to receive a lethal substance. The substance could be self-administered or, if the person is physically unable to do so, administered by a doctor or nurse.
Access to assisted dying will be restricted to adults who are French citizens or legal residents in France, and who suffer from a serious and incurable illness that is life-threatening and in an advanced or terminal phase, experience constant physical or psychological suffering linked to that condition, and are able to express a free and informed choice.
The lower house of parliament, in a final vote, adopted the text by 291 votes to 241.
"On this issue, which is as personal as it is serious, and which concerns life, suffering and dignity, there was only one possible approach: to take the time to listen, engage in dialogue and hold a debate," President Emmanuel Macron said on X.
"In 2022, I made a commitment to forge this path together with the French people. With seriousness, humility and full respect for our democracy, I have honoured that commitment."
SENSITIVE DEBATE
Opinion polls have consistently shown broad public for allowing assisted dying in France. An Ifop poll published in February found that 84% of respondents approved of the bill.
Supporters say the legislation will give people facing unbearable suffering at the end of life greater autonomy and control over how they die, while maintaining strict safeguards.

Assisted-suicide macht frei.
Coming here. It will start with ‘informed consent’. After that it’s all downhill. Cheaper. Gets people out of the way. Human condition like genocide. Sorry.
French lawmakers on Wednesday adopted a bill that will create a legal right to assisted dying for adults with incurable illnesses...
Islam is one of those...
Not surprising. They’re in the middle of committing cultural suicide.
The crap poll...
https://www.ifop.com/en/article/the-french-and-the-proposed-law-on-the-end-of-life
Note this...
“The survey was conducted among a sample of 1,001 people, representative of the French population aged 18 and over.
The representativeness of the sample was ensured by the quota method (gender, age, profession of the respondent) after stratification by region and urban area.
Interviews were carried out by self-administered online questionnaire between January 28 and 29, 2026.”
They got what they polled for.
Ghouls getting rid of useless eaters. Disgusting.
Now they don’t need to drive all the way to the Netherlands.
“Landmark”
As though it is some kind of social breakthrough.
“under strict conditions”
Like supporting Marine Le Pen.
Bad!
France has Muzzies.
Any mention of an “ethical debate” therefore becomes a joke.
who suffer from a serious and incurable illness that is life-threatening...
...And will it be called off if the applicant changes their mind?
Thank you, God and Founders for separation of powers, minorities rights protection, representative republic and state rights that protect our beloved country from being governed by opinion polls and French-parliamentary ghoulishness. And they call themselves a Christian country…
Every time I see “landmark” in a headline, it always refers to something bad.
In the Soviet Union, anti-communism was deemed a mental illness by the State and its medical-professional associations
Expect something similar for France.
Happening everywhere, devaluing life. Satan is preparing the world for his coming anti-Christ.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” - Revelation 13:15
Of course they did.
What they had to say to get it passed.
Just as carjacking is a black thing, assisted suicide will be a white thing.
