Paris — After months of deliberation and contemplation, President Emmanuel Macron announced at the weekend that he is backing a bill to introduce new "end-of-life" legislation in France for terminally ill patients.
"The term we retained is that of 'helping to die' because it is simple and human," Macron said in an exclusive interview with two French newspapers.
"There are cases we cannot humanly accept," he said, adding that this legislation would "look death in the face."
DENVER — Pediatrician Patricia Braun and her team saw roughly 100 children at a community health clinic on a recent Monday. They gave flu shots and treatments for illnesses like ear infections. But Braun also did something most primary care doctors don't. She peered inside mouths searching for cavities or she brushed fluoride varnish on their teeth.
