This week, the Jersey States Assembly approved approved legislation authorizing MAID. Legislation will now be drafted and this will come back before the States Assembly before the Assisted Dying service will come into force.
"To agree that, in addition to meeting all the eligibility criteria detailed in paragraph a, the person must have been diagnosed with a terminal physical medical condition which is giving rise to, or is expected to give rise to, unbearable suffering that cannot be alleviated in a manner the person deems to be tolerable and that terminal condition must be reasonably expected to cause the person’s death within the timeframe specified."
"To agree that no person should be under a legal duty to participate in the provision of assisted dying and any such person will have a right to refuse participation."
"To agree that there will be a minimum timeframe between the point at which a person makes a first formal request for an assisted death and the administration of the substance that leads to that death."
