Its only the first step in a long road to becoming law but MPs in the UK have voted to back the right for individuals with less than 6 months to live to seek to end their own life.
Obviously any law has to have robust safeguards to ensure no one is being coerced or other nefarious machinations but if someone is terminally ill then why not let them make this choice.
It is far from a done deal. Far left MPs such as Diane Abbott oppose the legislation and Wes Streeting who is the Health Secretary has said he will oppose it.
