The French National Assembly has adopted a key article of the end-of-life law, establishing five cumulative criteria for individuals seeking assisted dying. Notably, deputies removed the stipulation of "constant suffering," opting instead for a condition of "physical or psychological suffering that is either refractory to treatments or unbearable." This amendment, supported by the government, aims to broaden access by acknowledging the fluctuating nature of pain. The article, passed with 55 votes to 31, also requires the applicant to be an adult, a French citizen or resident, diagnosed with a serious and incurable condition affecting their vital prognosis, and capable of giving free and informed consent. Further debates are scheduled regarding the role of psychological suffering and the procedural aspects of the request.
