Isle of Man passes assisted dying bill, allowing terminally ill adults to end their lives.

The Isle of Man has become the first part of the British Isles to pass an assisted dying bill, which will allow terminally ill adults with less than 12 months to live to end their lives. Eligible individuals must have lived on the island for five years. The bill, which passed through the parliament's upper chamber, will now be sent for royal assent and is expected to become law later this year, with services potentially available by 2027. Doctors can choose whether to participate.
