People from Ireland may be able to apply for assisted dying if it is legalised in UK

"The proposed UK legislation allows terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of less than six months to end their lives, marking a significant shift in public policy towards assisted dying."

"The legislation outlines strict criteria for eligibility, demanding mental capacity and a clear, settled wish to end life, ensuring that decisions are not made under pressure."

"The UK’s decision to move towards legalising assisted dying is likely to influence forthcoming discussions in Ireland, where a committee has also recommended limited legislation in similar circumstances."

"The House of Commons vote indicated a growing acceptance of euthanasia as a viable option for the terminally ill, reflecting broader societal changes in attitudes towards end-of-life choices."
