UK Parliament Advances Controversial Assisted Dying Legislation

The UK Parliament has moved closer to legalizing assisted dying for terminally ill patients with a life expectancy of six months or less, following a supportive vote by MPs. The bill, which requires approval from two doctors and a judge, aims to provide a choice for those suffering from severe pain, like Elise Burns, who supports the bill. However, opponents like Nik Ward express concerns about its implications for vulnerable individuals and the need for improved palliative care. The bill still requires further votes before becoming law.
