MPs in England and Wales have voted 330-275 in favor of a historic bill to legalize assisted dying. The decision follows a five-hour emotional debate in the House of Commons, where MPs shared personal stories. Proponents of the bill argued for individual autonomy, while opponents called for enhanced end-of-life care. The bill now progresses to further parliamentary scrutiny. Campaigners from both sides reacted with tears of joy and disappointment as the vote marks a significant shift in British social policy. If approved, the law will allow patients to request medical help to die under strict criteria.
