MPs vote to progress Bill to legalise assisted dying

MPs have advanced a Bill to legalise assisted dying to the Committee stage

MPs have voted in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at second reading, meaning it will advance to being scrutinised in Parliamentary committees. In this special edition of The World Tonight we explore what it means for the House of Commons to back the principle of assisted dying, what happens to the Bill next, and what changes it could lead to in society.
