Euthanasia or assisted suicide is a process through which individuals with terminal illnesses end their pain and suffering

This practice is legal in some countries and prohibited in others. The French cinema legend and one of the most handsome male actors in film history suffered two strokes in 2019 and has been bedridden ever since. He currently resides in Switzerland, where euthanasia is legal
