France Legalises Assisted Dying

France's National Assembly gave final approval to a bill allowing adults with incurable illnesses to receive lethal medication, capping years of intense debate.

The legislation will make France one of the few countries to permit doctors to help terminally ill patients end their lives.

The bill's passage represents a significant social reform after lengthy parliamentary deliberation and public discourse.

The law establishes strict criteria for eligibility, limiting the option to adults with incurable conditions who are suffering unbearably.
