French MPs have voted to allow assisted dying for terminally ill patients, with the bill backed by President Macron. The National Assembly approved it by 305 to 199 votes, and it will proceed to the Senate. The legislation aims to make France the eighth EU country to permit assisted dying, though it is less permissive than in the Netherlands or Belgium. The bill outlines strict conditions for eligibility, including serious and incurable diseases and constant suffering. Critics express concerns about potential pressure on vulnerable individuals. A separate bill on palliative care also passed without opposition.
