End of life
The French Senate rejected a central article of an end-of-life bill on Wednesday, January 21, which outlined conditions for a right to aid in dying. The vote passed 144 against 123, stripping the text of its core, amid reluctance from various political groups. Debates will continue, but the process may revert primarily to the National Assembly.

The Senate's social affairs commission amended the bill on the 'right to assisted dying' on Wednesday, January 7, renaming it 'medical assistance in dying' to limit access to patients at the very end of life. Senators toned down the deputies' initial text, which used a broader criterion of 'vital prognosis engaged.' This initiative, pledged by Emmanuel Macron, will be debated in session from January 20 to 28.
