Growing number of MPs changing their mind on assisted dying
A growing number of MPs in the UK are changing their stance on assisted dying laws, with several previously supportive MPs now indicating they will likely vote against the bill. The Assisted Dying Bill would allow terminally ill adults with less than six months to live to receive medical assistance to die and has already passed a major vote in the House of Commons. Despite support from different political parties, opposition to the bill is increasing among MPs, who are currently reviewing amendments before a final vote in the summer.
