Summary

MPs vote to back a bill legalising assisted dying in England and Wales by 23 votes

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will now progress to the House of Lords, where it will face further scrutiny

After several hours of emotional debate, MPs were allowed to vote in accordance with their personal beliefs, rather than alongside party lines

The bill would allow terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to get medical assistance to end their own lives

Hey, theyโ€™re killing the UK with their policies. The next logical step is starting to kill citizens.

Hmmmmmmm! Would using the “assistance” negate life insurance policies?

Hell, the UK doesn’t need any assistance in dying.
They’re committing cultural suicide just fine.

And if you don’t assist them by dying they are cooking up a hell of a war that’ll need plenty of fodder.

“The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill”

Unless the world enters WWIII could this be the start of medical care for seniors? So are old people terminally ill because there is no cure for old age?

Who knows better than a doctor pulled off the street as to whether anyone has โ€œsix months or less to live?โ€

Gee...Grandma's 82 years old. She's getting a bit forgetful. She fell last month and had a big bruise on her leg. And her house is worth 750,000 Pounds.

I think she needs some help to die.
