France Is Set to Allow Assisted Dying

France is poised to legalize assisted dying, allowing doctors to aid terminally ill patients in ending their lives. Lawmakers are expected to approve the bill, which would make France one of the few countries to permit the practice. The new law would provide an option for patients with no chance of recovery to die with dignity. If passed, the legislation would mark a significant shift in France's approach to end-of-life care.
