## Resource

A fresh push to legalize assisted dying is heating up after Labour MP Lauren Edwards reintroduces the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, aiming to give terminally ill adults under six months to live a legal option for assisted death—with approval from two doctors and an expert panel. The bill previously passed the Commons but stalled in the Lords amid over a thousand amendments and accusations of filibustering, sparking fierce debate over democracy versus parliamentary tradition. Edwards insists the Commons, not the unelected Lords, should decide this vital issue, and warns the Parliament Act could be used if the Lords block progress again. Advocates like Dame Esther Rantzen applaud the effort, while critics warn of dangerous precedent and division. With public support strong, the question now is whether this renewed attempt will finally break through—or reignite the stalemate.
