標題:The rights and wrongs of assisted dying

Britain’s next great social reform is coming. Here’s how it should work

正文：Britain has become a much more li beral country in recent decades. In 1981 only 12% of Britons thought that homosexua lity was justifi the propor able, according to the World Values Survey; in 2022 the figure was 66%. Over the same period tion of people who were accepting of divorce rose from 18% to 64%. Where the public has led, politicians have followed: same-sex marriages were le galised in 2013; no-fault divorces became possible in 2022. That pattern may well be about to repeat itself with assisted dying.
