Euthanasia, a controversial subject dear to Line Renaud.
This Sunday, the actress and the non-registered deputy and rapporteur, Olivier Falorni spoke in the JDD on the bill in favor of euthanasia.
“Our law still suffers from several major flaws and shortcomings,” laments the 94-year-old singer.

Line Renaud leads this fight for "some of our citizens", who are "suffering from generalized cancer, multiple sclerosis or Charcot's disease in the advanced phase" and who "wish to shorten their lives".
Recently in September 2021, she spoke out in favor of “the ultimate freedom, that of dying with dignity” at the National Assembly.
Her commitment to this fight is long-standing, and for good reason the singer experienced the suffering of her husband Loulou Gasté, who died in 1995 from bone cancer, and that of her mother.
Stop “hypocrisy”
The deputy and the artist regret that France does not leave any other choice to the sick than “exile in border countries to die there and the practice of clandestine euthanasia in our country”.
An observation that makes France a “hypocritical” country, for Line Renaud.
In order to illustrate their fight, they take Belgium as an example, the flat country legalized euthanasia in 2002.
According to them, "the legalization of euthanasia has not led to its proliferation but has made it possible to improve its monitoring and control", since it "already existed illegally".

On April 8, rapporteur Olivier Falorni's proposal on "the right to a free and chosen end of life" had already been debated, and its article 1, providing for the creation of "active medical assistance in dying", adopted, but the examination had not been able to come to an end.
