Its thursday, 29th of february. Our main story. A group of mps have urged ministers to consider the implications for the uk, if assisted dying is legalised in the isle of man and jersey. The Health Select committee has published a report, which it hopes will provide evidence for future debates about the law. Opponents say the current legislation prevents people from coming under pressure to end their lives. Heres our medical editor, fergus walsh. The mps dont Make Recommendations for or against assisted dying. Rather, the aim of their report is to serve as a basis for debate on what they call this difficult, sensitive, yet crucial subject. More and more countries in europe have legalised assisted dying in some form, along with new zealand, australia, canada and ten states in the us.

Her daughter, whos 12, was added to this Whatsapp Group, and weve seen some of the content, which included sexual images, pictures of mutilated bodies and racist comments. Screenshots weve seen showed it had more than 900 members, and it also meant childrens Phone Numbers were in the hands of strangers. She also told me a boy had called her as a result of getting her number from the group and had invited his cousin to talk to her, too. Thankfully, she was savvy enough to end the call and replied to their Text Messages saying she was not prepared to give them her surname or tell them where she went to school. Its an incredibly disturbing case to have heard about, and the fact that Primary School age children have been added to this group and seeing such dangerous content that they dont want to see and they dont want to be exposed to is incredibly upsetting. It comes as an urgent message was sent to parents fr
