Marina Carrère d’Encausse, doctor and host of the health magazine, and Jean-Luc Romero, president of the association for the Right to Die with Dignity, are the guests of franceinfo’s 12/13 info after the announcement of a future bill on the end of life.
A bill on end of life will be presented to the National Assembly on May 27. Marina Carrère d’Encausse, doctor and presenter of the health magazine, and Jean-Luc Romero-Michel, president of the association for the Right to Die with Dignity, are the guests of franceinfo’s 12/13 info to react to this news. There is no question, in the text, of talking about euthanasia or assisted suicide, but of assistance at the end of life. For Marina Carrère d’Encausse, the choice of terminology was not particularly important. On the other hand, according to her, “you have to be quite aware of the gesture and the reality of the gesture”. For Jean-Luc Romero-Michel, there is also no problem in the choice of words.
Jean-Luc Romero-Michel expects a lot of parliamentary work
On the other hand, according to him, it is above all the conditions which raise questions. He has great difficulty understanding that a “college of doctors who must tell you yes or no”, to respond to a patient’s end-of-life request. Jean-Luc Romero is certain of it, “the text as it is presented today is not applicable”. He expects a lot from the parliamentary work to come.
