The Isle of Man's Assisted Dying Bill has received Royal Assent, allowing adults with terminal illnesses to request assisted death under specific conditions. This legislation marks a significant change in the region's approach to end-of-life care, following years of advocacy from groups like Dignity in Dying.
While supporters celebrate this milestone, opponents express disappointment, citing concerns over human rights and the potential impact on palliative care. The law requires strict eligibility assessments and medical oversight for requests.
