Euthanasia Prevention Coalition: French Senate defeats euthanasia bill by 170 to 142.: Last night the Senate in France defeated a bill to legalize euthanasia by a vote of 170 to 142. The bill would have allowed euthanasia for people with disabilities, those with chronic conditions and people who are defined as terminal.
Prime Minister François Fillon had spoke out against the bill a few days earlier. He thought such a law would not fit in with the “basic values of our society” and that to legislate giving the right to end someone’s life was a limit “we should not go beyond.”
