The French National Assembly has approved the proposal for an assisted dying bill by 295 votes in favour and 232 against after the Senate’s rejection in January.
“This vote is the culmination of several years of work and of a thorough public debate, conducted with seriousness, respect and dignity,” Yaël Braun-Pivet, president of the National Assembly, said in a post on X following the vote.
The bill has been controversial in France, sparking debate on how to regulate end-of-life assistance.
