During his election campaign, French President Macron committed to launching a public debate on euthanasia and suicide in France. For years, there have been debates between French supporters and opponents of changing the law to introduce active euthanasia. 184 citizens therefore came together in a Citizens' Convention to discuss and work on this issue. The convention was a great success, lessons learned can be drawn from this participation format to make future citizen participation even more effective.
