Macron signs law allowing euthanasia in France
French President Emmanuel Macron signed a law legalizing euthanasia on August 19. The legislation gives adults with advanced, severe and incurable illnesses the right to request assistance in ending their lives under certain conditions.
France’s legal framework for euthanasia was established with the signature of President Emmanuel Macron. Macron signed the law on August 19, covering people with severe and incurable illnesses in an advanced or terminal stage.
The French Parliament adopted the legislation in mid-July. On August 14, France’s Constitutional Council ruled that the law complied with the country’s constitution.
Scope of the legislation
The law allows people experiencing suffering that cannot be relieved through treatment, or that would become unbearable if treatment were discontinued, to request assistance under the euthanasia framework.
The right to apply is limited to people over the age of 18. French citizens and people who legally reside permanently in the country will be eligible under the legislation.
The approval of the law was announced in a document published in France’s official gazette, which stated: “The President approved this law.”
