The latest news on the United Kingdom. British MPs have voted in favour of a bill that would legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults, marking a pivotal moment in United Kingdom social policy. Some groups, of course, including Care Not Killing, didn't like it:
"Members of Parliament had under 10 hours to consider over 130 amendments to the Bill, or less than 5 minutes per change. Does anyone think this is enough time to consider changes to a draft law that quite literally is a matter of life and death?"
