British Mps Vote To Legalize Assisted Dying For Terminally Ill

British members of parliament have voted to legalize assisted dying, making the United Kingdom one of the few nations to allow terminally ill individuals to end their lives. The House of Commons voted 330 to 275 in favor of the bill, following a lengthy debate and years of campaigning.

If the bill clears the House of Lords and parliamentary committees, the UK will join countries like Canada, New Zealand, Spain, and some US states in allowing assisted dying for terminally ill patients with less than six months to live. The process requires approval from two doctors and a High Court judge.
