Parliament halts renewed push to legalise assisted dying
The House of Commons voted 286 to 270 to block Labour’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, ending the latest bid to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales for now. The proposed law would have allowed adults with six months or less to live to seek help to end their own lives under safeguards (two doctors and an expert panel). While the bill will not progress this term, MPs and peers could try again in the next parliamentary session.
