Macron pointed out that in April it will be presented to the French Council of Ministers and the debate should reach the French Assembly at the end of May. In France euthanasia is not legal, but in 2005 the Leonetti law was passed. According to this, everyone should decide on their end of life. The law states that medical actions should be performed "without triggers".

“This law is necessary because there are currently unacceptable cases of humanity that cause suffering to families, patients, medical groups,” Macron said. This law shall exclude those suffering from psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases.
