France Allows Euthanasia The French government has introduced a law that allows citizens to request assistance in dying under certain conditions. On August 18, President Emmanuel Macron signed law № 2026-794, which was published on August 19. This law adds the right to assisted death to the French Public Health Code, allowing adults to request assistance in dying if they have a severe, incurable illness that meets established criteria. The law outlines a procedure for accessing assisted death, which requires five conditions to be met: the person must be at least 18 years old, a French citizen or a legal resident, have a severe, incurable illness that is advanced or terminal, experience suffering related to the illness that is unbearable or cannot be alleviated, and be able to express their free and informed will. A doctor informs the person about their condition, treatment options, palliative care, and available psychological support, after which the person can formalize their request. A medical team, including the person's doctor, a specialist, and a medical worker from the treatment team, evaluates the illness, suffering, and free will. The team's decision is made by the first doctor, who must make a decision within 15 days of the request. After a positive decision, there is a waiting period of at least two days, during which the person must confirm their request. The law also establishes a commission to monitor the procedures and ensure that conditions and rules are respected, as reported in Le Monde, August 2026. 🔗 Read original →
