The House of Commons voted to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales, marking a significant shift in the country's end-of-life care policy. This landmark decision follows a previous rejection of a similar proposal in 2015.

Under the proposed law, terminally ill individuals with less than six months to live would be allowed to choose assisted suicide with medical assistance. The bill's passage comes after an emotional debate in Parliament.

Public support for the legislation is substantial, with a YouGov poll indicating that three-quarters of residents in England and Wales favor the bill. However, opinions remain divided within the Labour and Conservative parties.
