- Portugal passed a law legalising euthanasia for people in great suffering and with incurable diseases.
- People aged over 18 will be allowed to request assistance in dying if they are terminally ill and in intolerable suffering.
- It will only cover those suffering "lasting" and "unbearable" pain unless they are deemed not to be mentally fit to make such a decision.
- The law will only be applicable for nationals and legal residents and not extend to foreigners coming into the country to seek assisted suicide.
