Camera Comunelor din Marea britanie a respins un proiect de legalizare a morţii asistate

British MPs have rejected a bill to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill patients, marking a significant setback for supporters of the initiative. The Commons voted 286 against and 270 in favor, maintaining the current ban on assisted dying. The proposed legislation would have allowed terminally ill adults in England and Wales to end their lives with medical assistance, pending approval from a panel of specialists. Advocates had hoped to build on previous support, but the bill failed to progress. Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that discussions on assisted dying should wait until improvements are made to palliative care. A recent Ipsos poll indicated that two-thirds of Britons support assisted dying, though some conditions apply.
