Jean Leonetti warns that the current draft legislation on end-of-life care in France lacks sufficient safeguards and diverts focus from the urgency of palliative care.
In an interview discussing the upcoming debates in the National Assembly regarding the end-of-life legislation, Jean Leonetti, a prominent figure in shaping previous end-of-life laws, raises significant concerns about the current proposal. He argues that the draft has devolved and continues to divide opinions, particularly as it notably downplays the necessity for improving palliative care, which he believes should be a priority. Leonetti's comments emphasize that the elimination of a critical article on palliative care from earlier discussions shows a disturbing trend in how the government is approaching this sensitive issue.
