France's National Assembly approves assisted dying bill

France's National Assembly passed a bill legalizing assisted dying under strict conditions. The vote marks a significant step towards allowing terminally ill individuals to end their lives peacefully. The legislation permits adults with serious, incurable conditions affecting their prognosis to receive assistance, provided they are capable of giving informed consent. Self-administration of the lethal substance is the primary method, with medical professionals administering it only in exceptional cases. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it faces a more challenging debate. If passed, France would join a few other European nations in legalizing assisted dying.
