DIGNITAS challenges sodium pentobarbital ban at the Conseil d’État of France
22 September 2021
The internationally active Swiss association “DIGNITAS – To live with dignity – To die with dignity” considers the current French ban on the prescription of the medication sodium pentobarbital for a self-determined end of life to be unconstitutional. It requests the Conseil d’État (Council of State) for this ban to be lifted so that people living in France can in future claim the right to a self-determined end of life in their own country. DIGNITAS is represented in these legal proceedings by the renowned French lawyer Patrice Spinosi.
