In November, after five hours of intense and emotional debate, MPs voted in favour of a bill that would allow terminally ill adults who have six months or less to live to seek help to end their own life.
The historic vote was heralded by assisted dying campaigners as “amazing news”, which would pave the way for people to have a choice over how they died. But campaigners against the bill vowed that their efforts to stop it becoming law were “not over”.
