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.

      Canada literally isn’t the UK.

      The motion that was passed is nothing like the framework Canada has.

      Plenty of countries ban drinking alcohol. You may as well be saying that having restrictions on alcohol for under 18s means it’s a slippery slope and it’ll be banned here. After all, Saudi Arabia literally did it. America literally did it. Qatar literally did it. Etc.

      Like I said, I want evidence. Not slippery slope fallacy. Show me MPs saying they intend to implement the system Canada has.
