PoliticsFrance adopts bill legalising assisted dying for adults

French lawmakers adopted a bill on July 19 that would establish a legal right to assisted dying for adults with incurable illnesses. The measure follows an intense ethical and political debate. It would allow patients with incurable, life-threatening conditions to request lethal medication under strict medical supervision. The bill will now go before the constitutional court, which has up to one month to approve it.
