Executive Director, Euthanasia Prevention Coalition
Macron responded to a report released by the National Consultative Ethics Committee (CCNE) saying that it was in favour of assisted suicide under strict, supervised conditions.
An Associated Press article reported that Macron said in a written statement that a body composed of citizens will work on the issue in the coming months in coordination with health care workers, while local debates are to be organized in French regions. The government will in parallel hold discussions with lawmakers from all political parties in order to find the broadest consensus.
It is concerning that earlier this year Macron said that he supported Belgian style euthanasia. Belgium's euthanasia law is very wide and poorly monitored.
France needs to fully examine Canada's experience with legalizing euthanasia and then reject the idea. Canada is the prime example of how euthanasia can go out of control quickly.
