British lawmakers give initial approval to a bill allowing terminally ill adults to end their lives in England and Wales

MPs in the House of Commons have voted to legalize assisted dying in the first vote in nearly a decade, with 330 votes in favor and 275 against. The private member's bill, sponsored by Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Angela Rayner, would give terminally ill adults with less than six months to live the right to die.
