The UK House of Commons passed an assisted dying bill for terminally ill adults in England and Wales, allowing those with six months to live and mental capacity to end their lives.

British lawmakers in the House of Commons passed a bill on June 20 legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill patients in England and Wales.

The assisted dying bill has passed its final stage in the House of Commons, after MPs narrowly voted it through. In a historic vote at today, 314 MPs voted in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, while 219 opposed. The legislation will now progress to the House of Lords, where it will face further scrutiny.
