英国国会议员推迟了有关法案的辩论, 该法案将使帮助临终患病成年人死亡合法化。 UK MP delays debate on bill that would legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults.

工党议员Kim Leadbeater推迟了对《终极成年人(生命终结)法案》的辩论,该法案试图使英格兰和威尔士患有绝症的成人在临终后六个月内死亡合法化。 Labour MP Kim Leadbeater has delayed the debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which seeks to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales with fewer than six months to live. 该法案现定于5月16日提交,允许临终病人在两名医生和一个专家小组的批准下结束其生命。 The bill, now scheduled for May 16, allows terminally ill individuals to end their lives with approval from two doctors and an expert panel. 拖延的目的是让议员有更多的时间考虑最近对法案所作的修改,包括撤销高等法院的保障,将执行期增加一倍,达到四年。 The delay is intended to give MPs more time to consider recent changes to the bill, including the removal of the High Court safeguard and doubling the implementation period to four years.
