EuthaNEWSia (www.euthanewsia.ca)

"French parliamentarians rejected the draft of law to make euthanasia legal. 326 French deputies voted against the draft and 202 - for, foreign media reports. The recommended draft of law defines that any adult having serious health conditions can apply to medical service to having honorable death. Currently few European states adopted the law, including Benelux countries, Switzerland; while France, Italy and the UK allow sick people to refuse medical service."

Although this was a free vote, deputies' votes were distributed along party lines. [Also see Jacqueline Jencquel's blog below.]
