Is France soon to make assisted dying legal?

French President Emmanuel Macron will back a new bill on assisted dying, he said in an interview published by French media on Sunday, March 10. Only adults with full control of their judgment, suffering an incurable and life-threatening illness and whose pain cannot be relieved will be able to "ask to be helped to die", Macron told newspapers.

This Entre Nous aired on Paris Direct, on March 11, 2024. A programme produced by Amanda Alexander, Marina Pajovic and Georgina Robertson.
