## Resource

France edges closer to legalizing medically assisted suicide as its National Assembly clears a landmark bill, setting strict conditions for terminally ill adults to self-administer lethal medication—with medical help available if needed. Backed by President Macron and supported by advocates who champion dignity and autonomy, the law faces opposition over potential coercion of vulnerable groups. Now headed to the Constitutional Council for final constitutional review, the bill could soon make France the latest European nation to offer controlled end-of-life options, reflecting a long-standing public demand for compassionate choice.
