FILE - French President Emmanuel Macron looks on during a joint statement with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, before a working dinner at the Elysee Palace in Paris, Monday, April 8, 2024. France ’s government presented a bill Wednesday April 10, 2024 to allow adults with terminal cancer or other incurable illness to take lethal medication, amid growing public demand for legal options for aid in dying.
A team of medical professionals would need to confirm that the patient has a grave and incurable illness, is suffering from intolerable and untreatable pain, and is seeking lethal medication of their own free will. Those with severe psychiatric conditions and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease won’t be eligible.
If approved, a doctor would then deliver a prescription, valid for three months, for the lethal medication. People would be able to take it at home, at a nursing home or a health care facility, Macron said. If their physical condition doesn’t allow them to do it alone, they will be allowed to get help from someone of their choice or by a doctor or a nurse.Sex, drugs and the Ramones: CNN’s Camerota ties up ‘loose ends’ from high schoolThe bill now goes to parliament for debate.
