How MSPs voted on the End of Life Assistance Bill
- Published
The Scottish Parliament has rejected plans to give terminally ill people the right to choose when to die, despite claims they were widely backed.
Independent MSP Margo MacDonald's End of Life Assistance Bill was defeated by 85 votes to 16 with two abstentions in a "free vote" of parliament, rather than along party lines.
