Jersey

Following a deeply flawed Citizens’ Jury and a vote in principle in November 2021, the Government of Jersey consulted on proposals to legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia, between October 2022 and January 2023. Lawmakers threw out the second strand of the proposals (for non-terminally ill people) in 2024 and a bill is being prepared.

A great many supporters answered the call to respond to consultations in Jersey, for which we are grateful. Residents should continue to engage with Assembly Members.
