520 |a In 2016, a law came into force in France granting terminally ill patients the right to continuous deep sedation (CDS) until death. This right was proposed as an alternative to euthanasia and presented as the ‘French response’ to problems at the end of life.

This short report describes the particular context and underlying social values that led to this piece of legislation, and explores its meaning in the wider French context.
