UK MPs have passed a landmark assisted dying bill for terminally ill adults, voting 314–291 to send it to the House of Lords. The bill would allow patients with under six months to live to self-administer life-ending medication, with approval from two doctors and a review panel. Supporters say it offers dignity and choice; opponents warn of risks to vulnerable people. Public support is strong, with 73% in favour, but the bill faces further scrutiny in the Lords. If passed, assisted dying could begin in four years. Assisted suicide remains illegal in most of the UK.
