Alex Allinson MHK says our bills remain completely separate
The MHK leading efforts to allow assisted dying on the Isle of Man says proposed changes to the UK's bill won't affect us here.
Kim Leadbeater MP has dropped proposals for the High Court to assess every case - instead proposing that's done by a panel of experts including judges, social workers and psychiatrists.
Opponents fear it'll push the process behind closed doors.
Here on the Island, the bill has had a number of amendments by the Legislative Council which now need to considered by the House of Keys.
If they're all agreed, it will then be signed and submitted for Royal Assent.
But Ramsey MHK Alex Allinson says our bill remains completely separate:
Trial of man accused of causing death by dangerous driving starts
Treasury minister agrees to bring proposed triple-lock changes as separate Tynwald motion
'No place for us to exist' say teenagers
Don't be afraid to reach out if you suspect domestic abuse
