Most people are simply not aware that legalising such plans will make any safeguards difficult or impossible to enforce, as proven by almost every jurisdiction where such laws exist.

As a mother to three children, I was horrified to read a further recommendation that, ‘where appropriate, the parents or guardians of a mature minor be consulted in the course of the assessment process for MAID, but that the will of a minor who is found to have the requisite decision-making capacity ultimately take priority’.

The first session of the assisted dying/assisted suicide inquiry will hear from peers involved in work around the subject, including Baroness Ilora Finlay who has visited Jersey twice.

Leading legal experts warn of the dangers of legalising assisted dying or euthanasia.

The Health Minister has delayed the publication of a report on islander’s views on assisted dying…

The Honourable David Lametti, Canada’s minister of justice said that the rate of change in public attitudes toward euthanasia had surprised even him.

Dr Madeline Li has helped hundreds of patients die. Now she has doubts about Canada's assisted dying programme.

Key questions as to what is driving the campaign for Assisted Dying were asked and answered and supported with the latest ‘new’ data from Canada, Oregon and the Netherlands.

Professor of palliative care Baroness Finlay of Llandaff fears that Jersey’s move towards becoming the first place in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying is a mistake.

There are no higher stakes than ending a life.

On the face of it, assisted dying might sound like a limited shift in the law… but when you start probing its limits, it quickly becomes evident how difficult it is to draw a distinction between what is and isn’t permitted.

The clock is ticking for us to highlight the deficiencies of the proposals…

Healthcare practitioners have expressed their deep concerns about the introduction of assisted suicide and euthanasia on the Island of Jersey in an open letter to the Minister for Health and Social Security.

Good deaths don’t make headlines. Yet more and more people than ever before are dying well with the benefit of good palliative and hospice care, and it can get better.

Dying is an everyday, everyone problem and before we shift the boundaries on what is possible here, the answer to dying needs to ensure the availability of equitable, consistent and effective palliative care.

Let’s do all we can to prepare and care for people dying a normal death.

We are all terrified of a painful death but the most vulnerable are at risk if euthanasia is legalised.

There is a reason people have warned against legalising euthanasia time and time again. The incentives for individuals and the state to behave in diabolical ways are simply too strong to be ignored.

Actions to end a person’s life are entirely distinct from withholding and withdrawing treatment.

Helen Arkwright said, “Think very carefully before going down this road. It is unlikely that we will be able to return once we have chosen this path”.

The Canadian Mounted Police have been called into investigate cases where Canadian veterans have been offered Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), bringing into question how safe supposed ‘safeguards’ really are.

JDWG hosted an event at Jersey Library where States Members and other guests were invited to meet the Baroness and ask questions relating to palliative care.
