abstract="Euthanasia remains an unlawful act in France. Although recent events have incited much debate concerning the need for new legislation, the current position has not changed. A law of euthanasia would not be a satisfactory response to personal suffering. Improved access to palliative care, both qualitatively and quantitatively, is a more appropriate way of meeting the demands of human dignity in end-of-life situations. The Swiss legislation concerning &quot;medically assisted suicide&quot; also raises some very interesting questions. Switzerland has decided to use law to set more restrictive conditions without waiting for a situation to develop where physicians would be accused of writing death prescriptions.<p /><p>Language: fr</p>",
