UK lawmakers prepare to vote on assisted dying bill for terminally ill patients

British lawmakers will vote on November 29 on a bill that could allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales to seek assisted dying. This is the first parliamentary debate on the topic since 2015. The proposed law would permit individuals with less than six months to live to request assistance, subject to strict safeguards. Two independent doctors and a High Court judge must approve each request, ensuring it is voluntary. Supporters argue the bill offers dignity and relief from suffering, while opponents worry it could endanger vulnerable individuals. The outcome of the vote will determine if the bill advances for further consideration.
