Story summary

British lawmakers will vote again on Friday on whether to allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales to choose to end their lives through assisted dying legislation, also known as the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. The bill has already been debated twice but ran out of time when the last parliamentary session ended in the spring. This is a "this is it" moment for MPs, according to campaign group Right to Life, who are warning that forcing the bill through without House of Lords approval would be a dereliction of duty. Some Labour MPs, including Gareth Snell and Meg Hillier, have expressed concerns about using an archaic law to pass the bill, calling it an "extraordinary risk". The vote comes after a previous attempt by Kim Leadbeater was talked out by Peers in April, and supporters are hoping for second time luck. Friday's vote will determine whether the bill becomes law, allowing terminally ill adults to choose assisted dying.
