Historic Vote in UK Parliament Advances Assisted Dying Legislation
The UK Parliament has taken a significant step towards legalizing assisted dying, with MPs voting 330 to 275 in favor of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. This legislation would permit terminally ill adults with a life expectancy of less than six months to choose to end their lives under strict safeguards. The debate was emotionally charged, highlighting differing views on end-of-life choices, with supporters advocating for compassionate options and opponents calling the bill flawed. The legislation now moves to committee stage for further amendments and review.
