France’s lower house has once again passed an assisted suicide bill, meaning it will be read again in the French Senate which has already rejected it twice. The bill passed Tuesday by 295 votes to 232, with 35 abstentions, the latest chapter in a long parliamentary drama that began in 2022. The bill was first read by the National Assembly in May 2025 and 305 voted in favour of it, and it was read again in February this year when 299 voted yes. On both occasions, the Senate later rejected the bill.
