Some progress to get medical assisted dying in the UK

Oct 22nd, 2021 by 

After an eight hour debate in the House of Lords on Friday, Baroness Meacher's Assisted
Dying Bill passed its Second Reading unopposed. This is a huge win for the campaign.

 The Bill will now go to committee stage where it will be further scrutinized.
After that it must go to the House of Commons for consideration.

The British parliament has been considering reform on right-to-die laws since l936
and always defeated.  But this law looks more likely to succeed given the many 
ccountries that have now introduced -- without problems -- similar laws.
