England's citizens' jury recommends legalizing assisted dying for terminally ill patients.

A citizens' jury in England has recommended legalizing assisted dying for terminally ill patients capable of making their own decisions, with 20 out of 28 jurors in favor. Convened by the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, the jury's findings aim to inform policy discussions, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding to prevent misuse. Critics question the jury's impartiality due to its majority support for change. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to address the issue in Parliament soon.
