ASSISTED DYING (P.18/2024): AMENDMENT (P.18/2024 AMD.) – COMMENTS
Presented to the States on 14th May 2024 by the Council of Ministers
STATES GREFFE
2024 P.18 Amd.Com.
COMMENTS
The Council of Ministers thank the Assisted Dying Review Panel for the work they have undertaken reviewing the proposals set out in P.18/2024 Assisted Dying.
At their meeting on 14th May 2024, the Council of Ministers considered the Assisted Dying (P.18/2024): Amendment lodged by the Review Panel on 7th May 2024 and agreed to accept the Panel’s amendment.
Use of the terms “direct” and “directly” in P.18/2024 was intended to aid understanding of what was meant by participating in the provision of an assisted death. Council acknowledges, however, that this will ultimately be a matter for a Court of Law to determine, applying the usual rules and principles of statutory interpretation, and giving consideration to the provisions of any assisted dying law that may be enacted.
