France considers "deep sleep" bill


Representatives of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities in France have opposed the legislation

A bill to allow patients to halt treatment and be given general anaesthesia until death will be debated in the French parliament tomorrow.

Jean Leonetti of the UMP party said: "The patient has to be at the end of their life and suffering despite the treatment given ... When these elements are present, I (the doctor) am obliged to start sedation that is deep and continues until death".
