Concerns have been raised about France’s proposed “Assistance in Dying Bill” by a United Nations (UN) committee.
The group has cited the impact it will have on disabled people as potentially problematic, along with the lack of alternative options to euthanasia and a lack of information on safeguards.
The National Assembly, the lower house of the French parliament approved the bill in its first reading earlier this year, by a vote of 305 to 199.
