In a landmark decision, the UK Parliament has voted in favor of the new Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) bill, marking a significant step towards legalizing assisted dying. 🏛️💊
During an intense and passionate debate in the House of Commons, 330 lawmakers supported the bill while 275 opposed it. This pivotal vote sets the stage for months of further discussion and potential revisions as the bill makes its way through both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
