November 12, 2024

The 40-page terminally ill adults (end-of-life) bill will be published today.

- Harriet Sherwood

The bill's main elements, released in advance, set out what it contains.

Who will be eligible for assisted dying under the proposed law?

Adults with a terminal illness who are expected to die within six months will be eligible for an assisted death. The person must have the mental capacity to make a choice about the end of their life, and must express a "clear, settled and informed" wish, free from coercion or pressure. The bill excludes disability and mental illness as eligibility criteria.

If the bill is passed, only permanent residents of England and Wales registered with a GP for at least 12 months will be eligible.

What will the process be?
