What Happened
The UK's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill failed to become law after House of Lords members tabled over 1,200 amendments, stalling parliamentary passage. The bill, which proposed legalizing euthanasia for terminally ill adults with less than six months to live, had previously passed the House of Commons in June. Advocates pledge continued efforts despite Friday's parliamentary session ending without approval.
