(LifeNews.com) – The British parliament has given initial approval to the bill to legalize assisted suicide on a 330-275 vote. The second reading vote is not the final vote on the matter, but it makes a third reading vote and final approval of the euthanasia bill appear likely.
Dr Gordon Macdonald, Chief Executive of Care Not Killing, told LifeNews this was a sad and terrible day for the UK.
“We are naturally disappointed at the vote, but have been hugely encouraged that the more MPs hear about assisted suicide and euthanasia the more they turn against changing the law and rightly want the Government to focus on fixing the UK’s broken palliative care system,” he said. CONTINUE
