The United Kingdom may legalize euthanasia.


The Parliament of the United Kingdom has supported a bill on assisted suicide, paving the way for one of the most significant social changes in recent decades. During the voting, 314 Members of Parliament supported the bill, while 291 opposed it.
The bill provides the right to end life with the assistance of doctors for terminally ill adults in England and Wales, who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and are expected to live no more than six months. If finally approved, the United Kingdom may join countries where assisted suicide is already permitted, such as Canada, Australia, and some states in the USA.
The United Kingdom is moving towards legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill adults following support for the bill from parliamentarians. This historic social change may have significant implications for medical ethics and practice in the country.
The new assisted suicide bill, which has received parliamentary support, may open new opportunities for patients and doctors, but it may also spark discussions on moral and ethical issues in society.
