France Parliament Approves Assisted-Dying Bill
Al Jazeera1 min read100 words
Parliament approved the draft text on Friday, recording 291 votes in favor and 241 against. The measure, which has been debated in several committees, was passed by a clear majority but not without opposition.
Although the bill now holds the mandate of the legislative body, it must still receive approval from the Constitutional Council. The Council will examine the text for compliance with the constitution before it can be enacted into law.
Once the Constitutional Council gives its assent, the law will be ready for promulgation. Until then, the draft remains in a provisional status, pending the Council’s final review.
