France's pro‑euthanasia group ADMD promotes donations after assisted‑dying law passes

The French National Assembly adopted the assisted‑dying bill on 15 July 2026 by a 291‑241 vote, pending constitutional review before it can be promulgated. The Association for the Right to Die with Dignity (ADMD), the main pro‑euthanasia lobby, released a brochure instructing supporters how to donate or bequeath assets to its fund, citing the new law as a catalyst for a "business of death".

In a related anecdote, Anne and Gérard Robert of Digoin, members of ADMD, described accompanying a friend to a suicide‑assisted procedure in Switzerland in February 2025. They welcomed the law’s passage, arguing it reflects the majority public opinion on assisted dying, while also highlighting the personal stakes for ADMD members.
