A law legalising assisted suicide for terminally ill adults has been granted Royal Assent, making it likely that Jersey will become the first part of the British Isles to legalise euthanasia within days. It is expected that assisted suicide will begin to be provided in Jersey late next year.
A statement from the Government of Jersey called the granting of Royal Assent for the Assisted Dying (Jersey) Law 2026 a “critical step in ensuring that the assisted dying service can now begin operating on schedule”.
