French deputies will vote on Tuesday, June 30, on the bill for assisted dying. A majority appears to favor the text.
After more than two years of debates, the National Assembly will examine the end-of-life bill for the third time. The solemn vote is scheduled for Tuesday.
On Saturday, deputies restored a version close to the one adopted in second reading in February. Self-administration of the lethal substance remains the rule, except in cases of physical incapacity.
The text is shifting from a mere possibility toward a recognized right. Private facilities will not receive a conscience clause to refuse assisted dying.
