France legalizes assisted dying for adults

France's National Assembly approved a bill Tuesday allowing adults with incurable illnesses to access lethal medication, a significant step toward legalizing end-of-life options. The bill, passed with a majority vote, permits assisted dying under specific conditions for those suffering from untreatable pain, requiring medical confirmation and patient consent. It now moves to the Senate, where amendments are possible. This decision follows growing public support and a long parliamentary debate, with the bill facing potential delays and opposition from religious leaders, while other countries have already legalized similar practices.
