France cools on assisted dying and euthanasia
Article indépendant
France appears to be backtracking on an expected reconsideration of
assisted dying and euthanasia, amid the country’s increasingly contentious
politics. The Government earlier this year signalled its intention to have
a draft end-of-life bill, including active assistance in dying, before the
French Cabinet this December. But a meeting of the relevant ministers
with President Emmanuel Macron in mid-November has thrown both
the content and the timing into doubt. Macron now wants to go “the
least far as possible and the slowest as possible”, one minister who
attended the meeting and remained anonymous was quoted as saying by
the French news channel France Info.
