The French parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of a law allowing terminally ill patients to cease treatment and enter a “deep sleep” until they die. The measure stops short of legalizing euthanasia, which remains a divisive issue in French politics, but the government said the law would give patients on the brink of death more control at the end of their lives.
