Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday that a bill opening "assisted dying" under "strict conditions" would be presented in April to the Council of Ministers. Adult patients, "capable of full and complete discernment", suffering from an "incurable illness" with "short or medium term vital prognosis" will be able to request to be helped to die.
In the event of a favorable collegial opinion from the medical team, a lethal substance will be prescribed to the person, which they can do themselves.
