MLC believes those with new diagnosis could be excluded under current proposals
The MLC moving the assisted dying bill through the Legislative Council believes there may need to be further changes to the residency requirement.
After amendments in the House of Keys, a person would have to have lived on the Isle of Man for five years before they can request an assisted death.
Peter Greenhill underwent treatment for a brain tumour four years after moving to the Island, so wouldn't have been eligible for an assisted death had he received a terminal diagnosis.
He believes minor changes could help ensure those in a similar position aren't excluded:
New administration has 'difficult decisions' to make
One-way restrictions on Glencrutchery Road for tree works
Advice issued as seal pup season gets underway
Next phase of Queen's Pier restoration to be formally opened by Lieutenant Governor
