Jersey approves assisted dying law | BBC News
A law to allow terminally ill adults the right to choose to end their own lives has been approved in Jersey.
It marks the final legislative stage for the landmark proposals before they get Royal Assent in the UK – and once approved the first legal assisted deaths could happen as early as next summer.
Those eligible are people with terminal illnesses causing unbearable suffering where they are expected to die within six months, or 12 months for those with neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s and motor neurone disease (MND).
It means Jersey is now the second part of the British Isles where assisted dying has been fully approved – the Isle of Man was the first.

The UK had to “call out” Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank before it was “too late” to save the two-state solution, the foreign secretary has said.
Ed Milliband has announced the UK would ban the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.
Israel has built around 160 settlements housing 700,000 people since then, despite all Israeli settlements in the West Bank being illegal under international law. Around 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.
Israel has responded with four “counter-measures” against the UK – including the closure of the UK consulate in Jerusalem, which is expected to shut in the next 30 days.
