英国议会下院就一项允许英格兰和威尔士实施辅助死亡的法案进行第二读议投票，以286票反对对270票支持的结果否决了该提案1。工党议员Lauren Edwards提出的这份法案原本旨在允许患绝症且生命余期少于六个月的成年人在专家小组批准下结束生命1。
这一投票结果令人意外，因为上届议会曾批准了基本相同的法案，该法案由工党议员Kim Leadbeater提出，随后在上议院被阻止1。政府首相安迪·伯纳姆及其部长团队在此次投票中保持官方中立立场1。总理基尔·斯塔默未进行投票，并主张暂停对该议题的讨论，直到社会护理制度得到改善为止1。
The House of Commons rejected a bill that would have legalized assisted dying in England and Wales, with lawmakers voting 286 against and 270 in favor during the second reading vote.1 The measure, which aimed to permit terminally ill adults with fewer than six months to live to end their lives with medical assistance following approval by a specialist panel, fell short of the support needed to advance.1
The reintroduced bill marked another attempt to change the law on this contentious issue.3 Labour MP Lauren Edwards sponsored the proposal, following a similar effort in the previous parliamentary session led by fellow Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, which had been blocked in the House of Lords.1 Prime Minister Keir Starmer did not cast a vote on the measure and advocated for postponing further discussion until social care improvements are implemented, while his ministers maintained official neutrality.1 Despite the current outcome, British lawmakers indicated plans to make renewed attempts at addressing assisted dying legislation in the future.2
