MPs have rejected plans for a right to die in England and Wales in their first vote on the issue in almost 20 years.
In a free vote in the Commons, 118 MPs were in favour and 330 against plans to allow some terminally ill adults to end their lives with medical supervision.
In a passionate debate, some argued the plans allowed a “dignified and peaceful death” while others said they were “totally unacceptable”.
Pro-assisted dying campaigners said the result showed MPs were out of touch.
