What Legalized Assisted Dying Means for England and Wales
Assisted dying is set to be legalized in England and Wales following a historic parliamentary vote.
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed its initial hurdle, allowing terminally ill adults with less than six months to live to seek medical assistance to end their lives.
Strict safeguards, including assessments by two doctors and court approval, are part of the proposed framework.
If fully approved, the law will mark a significant shift in end-of-life care rights in the UK, sparking widespread ethical and societal debate.
