Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill

The UK Parliament voted on the Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill, which would allow terminally ill adults to receive assistance in ending their own lives. This legislation marks a significant shift in how society views death and dying, aligning with trends seen in other countries that recognize the importance of dignity in death. The bill mandates that individuals must be over 18, have mental capacity, and make informed declarations before independent doctors, alongside involvement from a high court judge to assess eligibility. While the bill has passed its initial reading, the parliamentary process still has many stages to go through, indicating that the final outcome remains uncertain.
