French National Assembly Adopts Euthanasia Law
Suggesting alternatives to assisted suicide is now a crime punishable by two years in prison and €30,000 in fines under one of the world’s most extreme euthanasia laws.
Suggesting alternatives to assisted suicide is now a crime punishable by two years in prison and €30,000 in fines under one of the world’s most extreme euthanasia laws.

Deterring a suffering loved one from receiving a lethal injection could earn you up to two years in prison and a €30,000 fine.

In addition to the bill lacking necessary safeguards, recent reports have also dispelled the myth that all assisted suicide deaths are peaceful.

The current proposal lacks adequate safeguards and endangers doctors by threatening criminal charges for refusing to end patients’ lives.

When governments set eligibility for euthanasia, they’re deciding whose lives are too valuable to end—and whose are deemed worthless enough to facilitate their death.

Wherever assisted suicide is legalized, family members are told that it is a tool that ends suffering. Their experience, however, tells a very different story.

The End of Life Bill is hardly different from other euthanasia laws in Europe with few to no real safeguards for the most vulnerable.

Experts complain that “any reasonable person would be deeply troubled by the one-sided nature of those being called” as witnesses.

Some hopeful campaigners believe it can still be stopped.

If we are only meaningless atoms, it makes no sense not to kill us once we’ve become redundant.
