AFAIK in France you can ask the doctors to stop trying to revive you, but not to actively kill you. But the law changes quite frequently so I’m not very sure of that.
Edit : I was also told that it’s not very uncommon for doctors to “overdose” terminal ill patients (especially those with terminal cancer) with morphine or other opiate derivative—they give a dose high enough to stop pain, even if it can lead to death. But I’m not sure how legal it is, nor exactly how common.
Is it the same in France? Isn’t this part of the reason the US spends twice as much on health care as France?

Hmm, I don’t know, to be honest.
