MPs' historic vote to pave the way towards legalising assisted dying in England and Wales has been met with strong reaction. Adam Alderson, from Leyburn, North Yorkshire, has terminal cancer and said he was "really pleased" the bill had passed.

Kim Leadbeater, who proposed the assisted dying bill, has said there is ‘still a lot of work to do’ to perfect the proposed law

The House of Commons voted in favor of a bill that would legalize assisted dying for the terminally ill in England and Wales, under strict conditions.
