It might help to broaden your perspective a bit and look at multiple sources, before you spread rumours like they are facts.

Under Emmanuel Macron, France has been debating a law on “assisted dying” (aide à mourir). This is not a general idea that “some people should be helped to die,” but a narrowly defined proposal.

The draft would apply only in very specific situations:

- Adults (18+)

- With a serious and incurable illness

- Often life-threatening or terminal

- Experiencing unbearable suffering

- Who make a voluntary and well-considered request

If approved, the patient would typically self-administer the medication. Only if physically unable would a doctor be allowed to assist.

For context, Netherlands already has a regulated system for euthanasia. This policy allowed my terminally ill grandmother to pass away with dignity. She hated her final days, being bedridden, in pain, and dependent on others for basic needs like taking a shit.

Because of this policy, she was able to say goodbye to everyone she loved, over 100 family members, and make her own decision. No one questioned her choice.

Honestly, that’s the kind of dignity and control I would want for myself if I would ever end up in that situation.

I know this law would not apply to anyone.

I'm not trying to spread rumours, i said i wasn't english native, sorry if there is a misunderstanding.

Almost 100% of the population that is targeted by this law *should* not need it. When I said "people can't pay [for private paliative healthcare because public healthcare is going to be more and more broken]" I was talking about the people in the criteria of the law, not "all" the people.

I don't have the exact number, but for people under heavy care needs, palliative care, only something like x% (this is the number i cant recall, less says it's a "part") could ask themselves if they should access this end of life because science + our healthcare system cant do much more.

The other part, if they think about end of life is because the health care system failed them. Because in France public palliative healthcare teams are on budget cuts. Those people should have physical and mental healthcare, instead, they have just what the teams can do best as they can cuts after cuts. What happend when you are in paliative care, and there is no team to help your mental health? What could you think about and what does this law allow ?

There is no kind or dignity in Macron's law.

Really, we could save a "part" of that population, but instead priorise to allow them to die, for supposed kindness. True kindness would have been to focus to provide a decent public healthcare system especially in paliative field, for example, right ? (But Macron effort are to destroy the healthcare system and, in my opinion, not a rumour, that it is Orweilien to propose this law in this specific context in France)
