Since the early 1999, palliative cares were legally allowed in France. The rights of end of life'patients have been reinforced by the Kouchner law in 2002 and by the Leonetti law in 2005. During the last decade, several critical conditions of end of life showed the weaknesses of the Leonetti law however different assessments of this law recently carried out by officials, revealed that healthcare providers and general population were unfamiliar with this law. Before adopting new legislation, there is a huge need to promote palliative care and to train healthcare providers and general population to manage the last moments of end of life.
自1999年初以来，姑息治疗在法国获得了法律许可。2002年的库什内尔法和2005年的莱奥内蒂法强化了临终患者的权利。然而，在过去十年中，几种临终危急情况暴露出莱奥内蒂法的弱点，不过官员们最近对该法进行的不同评估显示，医疗保健提供者和普通民众并不熟悉这项法律。在通过新立法之前，迫切需要推广姑息治疗，并培训医疗保健提供者和普通民众来应对生命末期的最后时刻。
