    UK to follow Island's assisted dying example?

    The UK's House of Lords will vote today on whether to follow the Isle of Man and introduce assisted dying laws.

    This week the House of Keys gave our assisted dying bill its third reading.

    Later, members the of House of Lords will decide whether former lord chancellor Lord Falconer can propose a private member's bill to allow assisted dying for terminally ill adults.

    The last time a vote was held in the UK parliament was in 2015, when the House of Commons voted almost two to one to reject it.
