Assisted Dying Bill Back in Parliament | Belfast News
Description
The Terminally Ill Adults Bill is back in the Commons, sparking fierce debate as MPs weigh assisted dying for those with less than six months to live—requiring two doctors and an expert panel. The PM abstains to prioritize palliative care funding, but advocates say both can coexist. Support has waned since earlier votes, fueling calls for deeper discussion. A new disability coalition urges a halt, demanding better social care before any vote. Still, the bill’s champion remains optimistic, hoping it moves through normal channels for Lords refinement—not forced via Parliament Act.
