In principle, I don't disagree that slowly dying from a crippling terminal illness could be worse than a clean death. In practice, I don't trust these people as far as I can throw them. Every time a country brings in these assisted dying laws, the laws are abused, and there's no reason to believe France will be any different.
I'd hope this is the general opinion here. They will tell people who are still fine to go kill themselves since they are too expensive to keep alive, will deny help for people because killing them will be cheaper also. It's happening in Canada already, it'll happen all over the western world with how tuingd are turning out to be.
