Reading

People in Europe want more choices at the end of life. This new law is a step in that direction in France. The vote in parliament is important, but the law is not final yet.
This law helps people who are very sick to end their life. They can take medicine by themselves if they can. If they cannot, a doctor or nurse can help them.
The new law got many votes in favor and some against. Now, it will go to another part of the parliament. This other group might change the law, and the process will take a long time.
To get help, people must be adults who live in France. They need to have a very bad sickness that cannot be cured. Also, people with some mental illnesses cannot use this law.
