MPs vote in favour of historic bill after emotional debate
www.bbc.co.uk
The bill passes the first stage in the Commons but will be followed by months of parliamentary activity before it becomes a law.

Some progress, finally.

Edit: for the benefit of the tinfoil hat wearers, assisted dying is not the same as euthanasia.

    Yeah it’s the so-called slippery slope argument people are making that countries which have legalised assisted dying so far have tended towards making increasingly more people eligible over time.

    Conflicted on that tbh. Slippery slope is one of the classic logical fallacies but that doesn’t necessarily mean it can’t happen.
