(FILES) Rapporteur of France's National Commission on Information Technology and Civil Liberties (CNIL) Henri Caillavet speaks during a press conference in Paris on February 26, 1992. Nearly half a century before the recognition of a right to assisted dying, Parliament was already debating a groundbreaking end-of-life bill championed by Senator Henri Caillavet, a pioneer of the reform now taking shape. The National Assembly is set to hold the final reading of the bill on assisted dying on July 15, 2026, marking the last stage of the legislative process.
