A study found that nearly half of UK residents who opted for assisted deaths in Swiss clinics between 2016 and 2022 had non-terminal illnesses, primarily neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Only 22% had potentially terminal physical illnesses like cancer. Researchers from My Death My Decision advocate for a broader assisted dying law in Britain, allowing individuals with "irremediable suffering" to choose assisted suicide regardless of terminal diagnosis. They oppose limiting access based on a six-month prognosis, citing the exclusion of individuals with conditions like Parkinson’s and locked-in syndrome.
