MPs vote in favour of historic bill to allow assisted dying after emotional debate
The bill passes the first stage in the Commons but will be followed by months of parliamentary activity before it becomes a law.
Some progress, finally.
Edit: for the benefit of the tinfoil hat wearers, assisted dying is not the same as euthanasia.
Wow, unexpected. Finally some boldness to be humane about end-of-life situations.
I just hope it comes with sensible checks and balances.
The proposed law is only available to people with a terminal illness judged to have 6 months or less to live, needs to be signed off on by two doctors and a judge, and the patient needs to take the drugs themselves. If anything it's potentially too restrictive, but a step in the right direction.
As an American, it is truly appalling to see MAGA Republicans on social media try to dig their nose into UK politics now. Many British were in favor of this bill, and MAGA Republicans are now calling the country satanic. I applaud the bill and hope it helps those who need it.
Helping other people is a really difficult concept for the Make America Gilead Again cultists. I’m glad there’s still some of you with your heads on the right way.
I couldn't care less what they think of us to be honest.
Welcomed but let's see how this progresses over the next two years before it becomes law.
Wait, you can get assisted death after losing an emotional debate? Or can the winner also partake?
Way too many people happy about the burguese state having power to kill people
burguese
LMFAO 😂😂😂
The muddle class.
This is giving the people more power over having the ability to gracefully end their own lives rather than the state saying people should continue to live in pain and suffering.
Nothing new, they always had. This isn't about that anyway
Good. Less brits.
