MEPs vote the text on the end of life – Boursorama

PARIS (Reuters) – The French Parliament adopted Tuesday in the first reading a bill that allows diving into an irreversible sedation patients terminally ill without going to legalize euthanasia as claimed by some .

The bill Alain Claeys (PS) and Jean Leonetti (UMP), which was passed by 436 votes against 34, offers a “deep sedation and continue” and makes binding on medical advance directives left by the patients.

PS groups UMP, IDU and the Left Front have overwhelmingly voted in favor of it supported by the Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, which the judge “balanced” .

Environmentalists elected and radical left group and several PS deputies abstained. They had argued unsuccessfully identical amendments proposing to legalize physician-assisted suicide, “active medical assistance to die.”

To the right of members of the Parliamentary Agreement, the rightist wing the UMP, who led battle against marriage for all, also abstained.

They consider the “useless and dangerous” text and rise, as are the leaders of the main religions, against this they consider a “right to die”.

The Senate should examine in turn into May or June.
