If the law is approved, residents in Jersey over the age of 18 with either terminal illness or incurable physical conditions will be eligible.
It argues assisted dying should be legalised on the island, as long as "essential provisions and safeguards" are met.Be aged 18 or over at the point they make a first formal request for an assisted deathHave a voluntary, clear, settled and informed wish to end their own lifeCrucially, the individual also has to meet certain medical requirements - the plans include two ways of defining what this will mean.
The distinction between route 1 and 2 is that a individual does not have to have a terminal illness in the latter, along with a life expectancy of six months, or twelve months in the case of neurodegenerative conditions.The proposition also stresses that no islander would be legally bound to participate in the provision of assisted dying.
According to the proposals, it is difficult to accurately estimate the number of assisted deaths there would be in Jersey if the plans were passed.
