Legislation to give terminally ill adults the right to end their own lives is entering its final stages.
It could be the first jurisdiction in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying.
People over the age of 18 and with a prognosis of 12 months or fewer to live would be eligible.
Agreement is still needed on whether to cut the residency criteria from five years to 12 months .
Millie Blenkinsop-French lost her son James to neck cancer, aged only 52 .
The Isle of Man legislation now looks set to become law, but politicians in Jersey , Westminster and Holyrood also consider their own proposals.
"Nobody in their right mind would be against assisted dying if they had to sit, like I did, and watch my son die," she says.
