flag A bill to legalize assisted dying in England and Wales may fail by May due to delays and over 1,000 amendments, risking patients' rights to die with dignity.

flag A private member’s bill to legalize assisted dying in England and Wales is likely to fail by the May deadline due to limited parliamentary time and over 1,000 amendments from unelected peers. flag Esther Rantzen, a terminally ill former TV presenter, accused the House of Lords of obstructing the legislation, calling it “blatant sabotage,” while supporters say delays are undermining public support and the right of terminally ill patients to die with dignity. flag The bill, which requires two doctor assessments and a six-month prognosis, faces opposition from some peers and religious groups, though the government maintains proper scrutiny is necessary. flag With only five Fridays left before the King’s Speech, advocates warn the law may remain unchanged, leaving patients to consider dying abroad.
