UK MPs vote for assisted dying law in historic step

Britain took a historic step towards allowing euthanasia on Friday when MPs backed legislation that would permit assisted dying for terminally ill people.

Lawmakers in the lower House of Commons chamber voted 314 in favour to 291 against to advance the proposal to the upper House of Lords for further scrutiny and votes following four hours of emotional debate.
