French president Emmanuel Macron has announced that he will back legislation to legalise “aid in dying” for terminally-ill adults. A report last year claimed that most French citizens would support this. In an interview with French newspapers La Croix and Liberation, Macron said assisted dying would be restricted to adults suffering from an incurable illness, who are expected to die in the “short or middle-term”, and who are suffering “intractable” physical or psychological pain.

Promoters of a new documentary film highlighting how assisted suicide in Canada has led to thousands of deaths as well as severe negative impacts on those who work in palliative care hospices are hopeful a cross-country viewing tour will educate Canadians on the realities of government-sanctioned death by displaying the horrific realities of legal euthanasia.
