The Citizens’ Convention wants to allow euthanasia or assisted suicide
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
One more step towards the authorization of euthanasia. The Citizens’ Convention on the end of life has just concluded its debates on Sunday by confirming its majority position to legalize euthanasia or assisted suicide. For months, it has brought together French people drawn by lot to guide the action of the executive on this subject.
“For a majority of citizens of the Convention, access to active assistance in dying must be open”, says its report voted on Sunday, while mentioning important nuances. The Convention thus does not express a majority position on the case of minors or that of persons incapable of expressing their will. The report also precisely details various positions, including the minority position once morest legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide.
Guiding the action of the executive
This convention, convened at the call of the government in the fall of 2022, brings together 184 French people drawn by lot, whose opinion aims to guide the action of the executive. They had to say if the current legislation on the end of life, fixed by the Claeys-Leonetti law of 2016, appears adapted to all situations and if changes should be made.
This law authorizes “prolonged and continuous sedation”, in other words a permanent plunge into unconsciousness, for patients in a desperate state in the short term and whose suffering is intolerable. But it does not go so far as to authorize “active assistance in dying”, that is to say either an act of euthanasia by a caregiver, or assistance in suicide.
The majority of the French people meeting in convention felt that the current end-of-life framework was not suitable. However, they do not hold the current legislation solely responsible for this. They also underline the concrete difficulties of access to what is provided for by law, in particular an adequate supply of palliative care. As such, the Convention emphasizes the “alarming situation” of the French health system.
The uncertainty regarding the translation into a new law
Beyond the single question of euthanasia or assisted suicide, the convention therefore makes a long list of recommendations to develop palliative care and facilitate access to it.
The uncertainty now relates to the concrete translation of these recommendations, in particular the drafting of a new law. President Emmanuel Macron, who had in the past spoken out for a change in the law but now refrains from speaking out clearly, is due to receive the participants in the convention on Monday to say what follow-up he intends to give to their work.
During the summer months, pop, hit and folk music bands will once once more be performing at the concert series “Konzerte am Bergsee” on the Mariazeller Bürgeralpe. A colorful music program has been planned for 2023.
The summer concerts on the Bürgeralpe will also start this year with “Die Seer” with a double concert on Thursday, July 13th and Friday, July 14th, 2023. The band’s declared goal: The audience should find themselves in the songs, which is why the musicians also feel best when they can turn the concert into an intense shared experience with the people who like their music (the word “fan” is not appreciated at all).
On Thursday, July 27, 2023, JOSH will be a guest. with Thorsteinn Einarsson on the lake stage. The Austrian musician is known for his hits such as “Cordula Grün” or “Expresso & Tschianti”.
The planned concerts in August are also impressive: “Die Daufgänger” are now an integral part of every stage in German-speaking countries and will be making a guest appearance on Thursday, August 10, 2023 on the Seebühne. With the hectare party and the hits “Cordula Grün”, “Marie”, “Mars”, “Rapunzel”, “Landjugend”, “LAYLA” & Co., they have already secured a permanent place in the party industry. At 8:00 p.m., “Die Fürsten” will perform as the opening act – the musical nobility from Styria!
Melissa Naschenweng and her pink harmonica, only topped by her pink leather trousers, conquered the hearts of all generations with her cheerful songs on Friday, August 18, 2023. With songs from the new album “Glück” and of course many other hits from her predecessors -Albums! At 8:00 p.m., Christoph Forstner & Band will perform as support act – young Austropop from Styria!
You can also combine your visit to the concert with a short holiday in the Mariazell region – you can find suitable accommodation easily and conveniently using the Mariazell online inquiry assistant.
