💨 Abstract

The Isle of Man has become the first part of the British Isles to legalize assisted dying, following a vote in Douglas. The law will apply to terminal illness patients who have lived on the island for five years, have a life expectancy of less than 12 months, and have a 'settled intention' to end their life. Doctors may opt-in, and the law is expected to be in place by 2027.
