Assisted Dying: A Missed Opportunity for Compassion The recent vote against legalizing assisted dying in England and Wales has left a trail of devastation among campaigners who fought tirelessly for a change in the law.
The bill, which would have allowed terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to seek medical assistance to end their lives, was defeated by 286 votes to 270.
Campaigners outside Parliament Square were visibly shaken as news of the defeat spread.
