The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill reaches a critical stage in the House of Lords this week, with peers set to consider the latest proposed changes to the assisted dying legislation. The Bill, which passed its Commons stages in 2025, has generated significant cross-party debate over safeguards and the role of medical professionals. If passed unamended, England and Wales would become the largest jurisdiction in the world to legalise assisted dying.
