French MPs have voted to put some people in the final stages of their final illness, assisting the right to death.

The National Assembly approved the bill supported by President Emmanuel Macron, with 305 votes to 199. Now, the bill will go to the upper house of the Senate and then take a second reading in the National Assembly. Supporters hope it will become law in 2027.

This will make France the eighth country in the EU to allow auxiliary dying versions.

For example, the French version of tolerance is not as good as the Netherlands or neighboring Belgium, the first country in Europe to legalize assisted death.

A separate bill creates the right to palliative care without being deceived. It is estimated that 48% of French patients who require palliative care are not available.

Macron said the decision to approve the two bills was a "important step" in Tuesday's social media post.

"My hopeful brotherhood will gradually open up in terms of sensitivity, doubt and hope," he wrote on X.

The two-week debate at the conference focused on conditions where patients were eligible for assisted death.

The approved formula is targeted at “hitted by severe and incurable diseases”, i.e. “life-threatening, advanced or terminal phase”, where they are in “continuous physical or psychological distress.”

The patient must “freely express his or her intentions.” They will have to wait 48 hours before confirming.

Once authorized, lethal doses will be self-managed by the patient. or a medical assistant if the patient can do nothing.

Authorization will be provided by the doctor, but only after consultation with peers.

Members of Congress were allowed to vote freely on the bill - reflecting how differences in opinion on the matter violated the parties. However, this measure was supported by the center, to the left and against the right hand, with populists on the right.

Conservative critics (responding to the view that once dominated the Catholic Church) fear that the definition in the bill is too broad, opening the way for assisted deaths of patients who may have lived for many years.

Just like in other countries that debate moral issues, opponents fear that vulnerable older people will feel the pressure of death to relieve the burden on their families.

During a demonstration outside the National Assembly on Saturday against the bill, a 44-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease said it was like "a pistol left on my bedside table."

Some on the left hope to strengthen the government's bill by expanding assisted death minors, non-French nationals and patients who leave instructions before they fall into a coma.

Under the bill, medical personnel who oppose assisted death will have to enforce it. However, trying to prevent assisted death behavior would be a two-year prison sentence.

Conservatives want to cause another crime - incitement to promote dying crimes. But the amendment was rejected by MPs.

Prime Minister François Bayrou, a practicing Catholic, said he would abstain if he voted on the bill. Since he is not a member of Congress, he did not vote.
