MHKs to resume debate of controversial Bill
MHKs are set to continue debating assisted dying in the House of Keys this morning, marking the seventh day of discussion in the clauses stage.
During this stage, the House will consider and debate the Bill clause by clause before it proceeds to the third and final reading at a subsequent sitting.
Today (9 July) will see focus turned to the potential for an 'opt-in' system for healthcare professionals to join a register to provide assisted dying services.
Mover of the Bill, Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson, hopes today will bring the Isle of Man a step closer to finalising the legislation.
The topic has faced heavy scrutiny in both political and public settings.
Dr Allinson believes there is a 'silent majority' open to the law, as he explained live on Manx Radio Breakfast:
Plans for volunteer group to help with maintenance issues on the Island
Increased demand for eye treatment
Armed Forces charity in Port Erin faces closure
Ramsey MHK says government needs to step in and solve NCAS problem
