Last Friday (29 November), MPs have voted in favour of a bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales, by 330 in favour to 275 against.
It does not mean the plan is now law. There will be much more debate in parliament before it is finally approved.
Neutral position
Mountbatten has been monitoring the progress of the Assisted Dying Bill debate with interest and continues to hold a neutral position, acknowledging that assisted dying currently remains illegal in the UK.
We will continue to ask what you think about the issue so we can ensure your vital views are heard, during the next phase of this debate.
