“Active assistance in dying must be viewed with respect for everyone’s beliefs”, underlined Catherine Vautrin, Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity, Tuesday February 6 on France Bleu Champagne-Ardenne. The bill on active assistance in dying will be examined before the summer, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said last week.
The minister assures that she will carry this text “Extremely important” but maintains that it must be treated “with great caution and attentiveness”. Catherine Vautrin specifies that the bill on active assistance in dying should not concern “only majors” And “people who still have their consent because their life belongs to them, it’s their decision” and that it must concern patients suffering from pathologies “who show an extremely short life expectancy”as “Charcot’s disease”.
Beyond the end-of-life bill, the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity called, on France Bleu Champagne-Ardenne, on the French to think about their advance directives: “It concerns each of us, it’s a sort of guarantee of respect for your wishes”.
