英国上议院提出942项对寿终法案的修正案, UK’s House of Lords proposes 942 amendments to end-of-life bill, risking delay to assisted dying law.

英国上议院对《终极成年人(生命终结)法案》提出了创纪录的942项修正案,引起人们对受援助的濒临死亡立法可能拖延的担忧。 The UK’s House of Lords has proposed a record 942 amendments to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, sparking concern over potential delays to the assisted dying legislation. 该法案最初于6月由下议院通过,将允许6个月以下有智力能力的成年人在有严格保障措施的情况下请求协助死亡。 Originally passed by the House of Commons in June, the bill would allow mentally competent adults with less than six months to live to request assisted dying, subject to strict safeguards. 包括前政治领导人在内的65名同龄人警告说,在《共同法案》通过后阻止该法案将破坏民主,而反对者则对弱势群体面临的风险表示关切。 Over 65 peers, including former political leaders, warn that blocking the bill after its Commons passage would undermine democracy, while opponents raise concerns about risks to vulnerable people. 该法案的未来取决于两院在2026年议会会议结束前商定最后措辞,法律协助的死亡可能早在2029年就开始。 The bill’s future hinges on both houses agreeing on final wording before the 2026 parliamentary session ends, with legal assisted deaths potentially beginning as early as 2029.
