First place in British Isles set to approve right to die
- 25 February 2025
A law to give terminally ill adults on the Isle of Man the right to end their own lives is entering its final stages, making it potentially the first jurisdiction in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying.
Anyone over the age of 18 and with a prognosis of 12 months or fewer to live would be eligible, under the legislation being debated in the Manx parliament.
The bill will not be passed yet, since the Isle of Man’s lower house has rejected an amendment that would have meant people would only need residency on the island for one year to take advantage of the legislation.
