US EditionTV Doctor Hilary Jones Says He Would Help Terminally Ill to Die if Law Changed
- The bill concerning terminally ill adults and end-of-life assistance is scheduled for discussion in the House of Commons this Friday and pertains exclusively to England and Wales.
- This follows MPs approving last month a change ensuring no medics must participate in assisted dying, while further amendments are expected.
- The bill allows terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request assisted dying with approval from two doctors and an expert panel.
- Dr. Hilary Jones, a GP with over 45 years of experience, called assisted dying "the most humane, kind and compassionate thing" and said changing the law would relieve healthcare workers.
- However, two Royal Medical Colleges expressed serious concerns, and opponents urge MPs to prioritize improving palliative and social care over legalizing assisted dying.
