All that would involve further scrutiny by Tynwald members and consultations with those working in healthcare and other island residents have been promised as pat of that process.
Criminals in Greater Manchester are delivering everything from hard drugs to mustard to prison cell windows, police have said.Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Det Supt Andy Buckthorpe said the region's gangs are using skilled drone pilots to deliver packages containing drugs, but also tobacco and even condiments.
GMP recently used dogs and a helicopter in raids outside HMP Forest Bank private prison in Salford as part of efforts to crack down on the problem.A spokeswoman for the category B jail, which is run by French prison operator Sodexo, said staff were working with police to "tackle the conveyance of illicit items and reduce levels of violence".Officers have reported other items being smuggled into Greater Manchester's jails, including tobacco, shampoo, shower gel, and even sachets of mustard and tomato ketchup.
Det Supt Buckthorpe said the goods are often suspended on lines attached to the drones and are dangled close to cell windows."These drone pilots have got a really high skill set. The way you fly drones now, you can pin point them to certain area via coordinates and other methods," he said.
He said the drones used were capable of delivering "huge payloads" of up to 7kg (15lb).
"The technology is improving all the time, it's getting more sophisticated", he said, adding it was also becoming more accessible as drones became cheaper."We congratulate States members for listening to the wishes of Jersey citizens and rejecting the assisted dying ban," she said.
"They have recognised that doing nothing and maintaining the status quo is unconscionable."However, Deputy Barbara Ward, who worked as a nurse for 45 years, was against the proposals and said it should be called "an assisted suicide bill".
Deputy Sir Philip Bailhache shared concern for the impact the plans could have on disabled people.He said if assisted dying was approved, Jersey risked becoming a society that told disabled people their lives are not as valued as those of non-disabled people.
