While #Jersey approves bill to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults, the regressive #UK is set to fail after deliberate stalling by unelected 2nd chamber means Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will probably run out of time. Shameful.

Jersey approves bill to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults

Assembly members voted on Wednesday in favour of the bill, which will need royal assent before it becomes law

@ChristieElanCane We wait to see what this will actually mean in #Jersey but at least we do have a relatively functional health service - ignoring some of our waiting lists. So the issues about folks being forced to 'choose' to die should not apply here.
