Details of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, also known as the assisted dying bill, have been revealed. The proposed legislation for England and Wales, brought by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, specifies that adults wishing to end their own life must have less than six months to live, be mentally competent, and be physically able to take the prescribed medication themselves. MPs will be asked to vote on the bill on 29th November. Report by Jonesia. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
Assisted dying could become legal in England and Wales after the bill was backed by MPs in a historic vote. Under a draft legislation being considered by Parliament, terminally ill adults expected to die within six months could seek help to end their own life.

In a world-first move, Australia has passed a law banning children under the age of 16 from using social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. The law, which was approved by parliament with bipartisan support, aims to protect kids from the harmful effects of online content, including body image issues and cyberbullying. But the legislation has sparked mixed reactions across the nation, with some applauding the government's commitment to child safety, while others question how it will be enforced and if it infringes on personal freedoms. Is this bold new law the right solution or an overreach?
