France cools on assisted dying and euthanasia

Article indépendant

BIEDERMANN, Ferry

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.
