Bill to allow assisted dying in England and Wales returns to UK Parliament
U.K. lawmakers are voting again on whether to back legislation to allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales to choose to end their lives. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill returned to the House of Commons on Friday. The previous effort to back the legislation was effectively filibustered by unelected lawmakers in the House of Lords chamber.
The bill proposes allowing adults in England and Wales with fewer than six months to live to apply for an assisted death subject to the approval of two doctors and an expert panel.
