UK to debate assisted dying bill for terminally ill adults on Oct 16, first since 2015.
A UK bill to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults is set for debate on October 16, marking the first significant discussion since 2015. Labour MP Kim Leadbeater will introduce the legislation, which seeks to allow mentally competent individuals with six months or less to live the option to end their lives with medical assistance. Current laws impose severe penalties on assistance. Public support for the change has grown, reflecting evolving societal attitudes.
