flag UK’s House of Lords proposes 942 amendments to end-of-life bill, risking delay to assisted dying law.

flag The UK’s House of Lords has proposed a record 942 amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, sparking concern over potential delays to the assisted dying legislation. flag Originally passed by the House of Commons in June, the bill would allow mentally competent adults with less than six months to live to request assisted dying, subject to strict safeguards. flag Over 65 peers, including former political leaders, warn that blocking the bill after its Commons passage would undermine democracy, while opponents raise concerns about risks to vulnerable people. flag The bill’s future hinges on both houses agreeing on final wording before the 2026 parliamentary session ends, with legal assisted deaths potentially beginning as early as 2029.
