UK MPs Approve Kim Leadbeater's Assisted Dying Bill in Historic 330-275 Vote
Nov 29, 2024, 02:40 PM
British lawmakers in the House of Commons have voted in favor of the Assisted Dying Bill in a historic and emotional decision, marking the first time in nearly a decade that such legislation has been approved. Proposed by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, the bill would legalize assisted dying for mentally competent, terminally ill adults with less than six months to live in England and Wales. The legislation passed its second reading with a majority of 55, with 330 MPs voting in favor and 275 against. The bill now proceeds to the committee stage for further scrutiny and will require approval by the House of Lords before becoming law.
