Editorial: Liberation

  • Emmanuel Macron has changed his mind on the topic of end-of-life.
  • Having previously avoided discussing it, he has now opened the way for a modification of the law.
  • This modification would allow for the request of assisted dying under certain strict conditions.
  • Despite the evolution of his stance, Macron implicitly rejects the concept of euthanasia, preferring the term 'assisted dying'.
  • By initiating this legislative change, he is responding to a long-standing public opinion demand.
  • The issue of end of life remains divisive and will likely mobilize conservative factions of the political and religious spectrum.

Conclusion: Despite potential setbacks, Macron ventures onto a delicate but highly relevant field from both a personal and a collective political point of view.
