French National Assembly set to adopt assisted dying law in final vote
France was on Wednesday set to move closer to joining the ranks of countries that guarantee the right to assisted dying, after the long journey to adoption of a controversial bill championed by President Emmanuel Macron.
The lower house of the French parliament is expected to vote to adopt the law at the end of the day on Wednesday, despite critics still urging a fight to keep it off the books.
