LONDON: British law makers on Friday rejected a bill that allow terminally ill patients to end their lives.
330 UK lawmakers voted against the backbencher-proposed bill while only 118 backed the proposal. Prime Minister David Cameron was against the bill.
If passed, the Assisted Dying Bill would have allowed doctors to help terminally ill adults diagnosed with less than six months left to live end their life, at the patient’s request.
In rival protests outside parliament in London, around 200 campaigners came out in favour of the bill and there were dozens of protesters against it.
