  • Description: Supreme Court rejects permission to appeal on assisted dying Previous Ethics briefings have reported on Noel Conway, who for the past year has been challenging the UK’s law on assisted dying.2 3 Mr Conway, who has motor neurone disease, seeks a declaration that Section 2(1) of the Suicide Act 1961 (which prohibits encouraging or assisting suicide) is incompatible with his right to private and family life, as protected by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. First criminal investigations into assisted dying in Europe Authorities in Belgium and the Netherlands have launched criminal investigations into doctors’ involvement in the provision of euthanasia for the first time. [...]200 GPs have signed up to provide abortion services, and 9 of 19 maternity units in Ireland have indicated that abortion services will be available before the end of January.13 The passage of the Act follows the referendum on abortion in Ireland in May 2018, during which 66.4% of voters voted to enable the provision of legal abortion services in Ireland.14 Home use of misoprostol now legal in England Following an announcement by the UK Government at the end of August 2018, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has now approved ‘the home of a pregnant woman in England who is undergoing treatment for termination of pregnancy’ as a class of place where the second abortifacient drug, misoprostol, may be administered.15 This must be carried out in line with certain criteria, including: First euthanasia prosecution launched in the Netherlands.
