Assisted dying will soon be an option for terminally ill New Yorkers. If they can have the choice, why can't we? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/n...

"I’ve always felt it is the most humane, kind and compassionate thing that relatives and doctors can provide, knowing that that person’s wishes are respected and known, that there is full mental capacity and that they’re surrounded by love."

Dr Jones called assisted dying for the terminally ill ‘kind and compassionate’, and said he would help a patient to end their life if the law is passed.

Dr Hilary Jones has warned medicine will go ‘back to the dark ages’ if MPs vote down the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which has its second day of Report Stage on Friday metro.co.uk/2025/06/09/t... a🧵

My position on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill following today's proceedings. Debate will continue in June. I will continue to monitor the Bill closely as it progresses through Parliament, and am always happy to meet to talk it through.

I have heard from many people in Brighton Pavilion about assisted dying, and their messages and stories have touched me deeply. We must create the best, most compassionate Bill, and this is what I said in today’s serious and detailed debate:

Labour MP Jack Abbott, who voted against the bill in November: “Do I think the bill is in a much better place after committee stage? I do. Do I think that the bill could be implemented effectively, but most importantly, safely? Then, yes, I do as well.” www.channel4.com/news/assiste...
