Scottish parliament rejects assisted dying law proposal

MSPs have voted against plans to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults in Scotland.

It comes after politicians debated hundreds of amendments during multiple marathon sessions as the proposed legislation made its way through Holyrood.

The deciding Stage 3 debate and vote for the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill took place on Tuesday evening.

Final results for the vote were 57 for, 69 against and one abstention. Health Secretary Neil Gray said he would abstain earlier in the day.
