UK Parliament Rejects Assisted Dying Bill for Terminally Ill Adults
UK lawmakers voted down the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which would have allowed terminally ill adults in England and Wales to choose assisted dying. The bill, defeated by 286 to 270 votes, had passed the House of Commons twice but was blocked by the House of Lords. The government remained neutral, treating it as a conscience issue. Supporters argued it would prevent patients from traveling abroad for assisted death, while opponents raised concerns about safety, potential coercion, and prognosis uncertainty.
