Spain MPs pass law legalising euthanasia, assisted suicide

Description

Spain's parliament votes through a law legalising euthanasia becoming one of the few nations to allow terminally-ill or gravely-injured patients to end their own suffering. The vote, which passed by 202 in favour and 141 against and two abstentions in the 350-seat chamber, makes Spain the fourth European nation to decriminalise assisted suicide, alongside the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
