France's lower house of parliament is set to vote Tuesday on a bill that would allow adults suffering from incurable illnesses to voluntarily end their life by taking a lethal substance prescribed by medical practitioners. A 2023 report indicated that a majority of French citizens support legalising end-of-life options.

My mother died last tuesday and she spent her last 2 years in bed without being able to talk or move. It was not living. It was torture and as long as countries are allowing this torture to happen I can't call them civilized countries.
