Why Did MPs Reject Assisted Dying Bill in England and Wales?
💡 Why it matters
The vote means thousands of terminally ill people in England and Wales will continue to face prolonged suffering without the choice of medically assisted death.
British MPs voted against legalising assisted dying in England and Wales after two years of debate, with supporters blaming House of Lords opposition and lack of government priority. The bill's failure leaves momentum for change stalled for now.
