The Determined Coalition Slowing Assisted Suicide in the UK
The news out of the United Kingdom on assisted suicide recently took a turn that would have seemed like a pipe dream a year ago. The British House of Lords ended its session in late April - prorogation is the technical term - without passing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill (HL Bill 112). The defeat for an assisted suicide measure that once seemed destined to become law came during the Lords' committee stage, during which members of the chamber can offer amendments to the proposal.
