The Terminally Ill Adults (End Of Life) Bill was passed with a majority of 55 votes after five hours of debate, demonstrating significant parliamentary interest in the issue.
This legislation allows individual MPs to vote based on their own values, making it a rare example of a free vote in the UK Parliament on such a contentious topic.
The bill's progress is noteworthy as it marks the first time MPs have had an opportunity to vote on assisted dying since its rejection in 2015.
Support came from diverse political leaders, indicating a shift towards a more personal assessment of issues relating to assisted dying, rather than strictly party lines.
