France to vote on assisted dying bill amid fierce right-wing opposition

French lawmakers are set to vote on Wednesday on a bill that would create a legal right to assisted dying for adults suffering from incurable illnesses. The vote caps an intense ethical and political debate that has divided the country. The bill is highly controversial, particularly drawing opposition from France's right-wing politicians, who view it as nearly anathema to their principles. France 24 correspondent Luke Shrago reported that the issue is almost anathema to the French right. The outcome remains uncertain as deep divisions persist within both the public and political spheres.
