US EditionMedical Aid in Dying Bill Moving Through Legislature
- On June 20, the UK Parliament narrowly approved legislation permitting doctors to prescribe life-ending medication to patients expected to survive less than six months.
- This bill, known as the Leadbeater bill, faced multiple rejected amendments intended to protect vulnerable groups including those fearing being a burden or suffering mental disorders.
- A substantial majority of doctors specializing in palliative care oppose assisted suicide, while critics highlight that end-of-life services continue to suffer from inadequate funding and resources.
- The bill passed narrowly with a 314 to 291 vote, and new transparency rules require roll call records to be posted publicly within 48 hours of voting.
- After clearing the Commons, the legislation now heads to the House of Lords, where members have the authority to postpone, modify, or reject it amid continuing discussions about the country's ethical path.
