Critics of assisted dying are 'scaremongering', Humanist Society says

  • The Maltese government launched a public consultation today to propose legalising voluntary euthanasia under strict conditions.
  • This proposal follows previous failed attempts and aims to allow only terminally ill adults expected to die within six months to request euthanasia.
  • Applicants are required to have lived in Malta for a minimum of one year, submit their own personal request, complete a mandatory one-week reflection period, and undergo comprehensive evaluations by several medical specialists as well as review by an oversight committee.
  • The regulatory board, composed of legal and medical professionals including a former judge, must decide within two weeks and can halt the process if abuse is suspected.
  • If approved, patients may self-administer a fatal dose in hospital or home while retaining the right to withdraw consent any time, with implications for careful oversight and debate.
