Conscience Protection

Opponents of "assisted dying" gather during a vote by members of parliament on a bill establishing the right to medical aid in dying at the National Assembly in Paris July 15, 2026. The placards read "Caring = fraternity – Euthanasia = abandonment. In reaction the same day, the French bishops decried the vote as 'turning point' in nation's history of alleviating suffering and accompanying "each person to the natural end of their life."
