The doctor behind a bill in the Isle of Man is cautiously optimistic that a vote this week will bring the British Isles closer to legalising assisted dying. Dr Alex Allinson believes there is a larger number of people interested in helping those facing difficult deaths than those opposed to a change in the law.
The doctor behind a bill which could see the first place in the British Isles come a step closer to legalising assisted dying said he is “cautiously optimistic” a vote this week will go through.
Isle of Man GP and parliamentarian Dr Alex Allinson said he is cautiously optimistic his Assisted Dying Bill will pass the latest voting stage Pro-change campaign group Dignity in Dying has described it as a “landmark vote”, saying that if it is approved “the Isle of Man will be on the path to become the first part of the British Isles to legalise assisted dying as an option for its terminally ill, mentally competent citizens, subject to strict safeguards”.
Asked how significant the progress of his bill is, he told PA: “If it is passed, this is just for Isle of Man residents, so it doesn’t satisfy the needs of people in other neighbouring jurisdictions. Its chief executive, Dr Gordon Macdonald, said: “At a time when we have seen how fragile our healthcare system is, how underfunding puts pressure on services and when up to one in four Brits who would benefit from palliative care don’t get access to it, I would suggest this should be the focus of parliamentary attention, rather than discussing again this dangerous and ideological policy.”
Assisted suicide is currently banned in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, with a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
