YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The UK House of Commons voted in favor of a landmark bill to legalize assisted dying, potentially putting England and Wales on track to a fundamental social reform that’s largely supported by the British public.

Members of Parliament voted 330 to 275 in favor of changing the law to allow terminally ill people with less than six months to live to opt to end their own lives. Two doctors and a high court judge would be required to approve the decision. The legislation will now proceed to the next Parliamentary stage, with the bill subject to further debate, amendments and votes before it becomes law.
