The bill gives terminally ill patients the right to end their lives, but the details have yet to be confirmed.

Lawmakers in Britain have taken a historic step toward allowing assisted dying. The change would see England and Wales join other countries that allow terminally ill adults to choose to end their lives.

MPs in the United Kingdom have voted to legislate assisted dying, supporting a landmark bill in the nation's history. MPs voted 314 to 291 and will now go through the final stages of scrutiny in the House of Lords.
